I'm using Word 2007.

I have a document with several figures that I have used cross-
references to link to the appropriate spots in the text. So far, so
good.

Now, the publisher wants me to submit the document as 2 separate
files: one with the the text and one with the figures. If I delete the
figures from the one, however, all my text references point to nowhere
and let me know that, in bold."Error! Reference source not found"

Is there some way to remove the cross references and just paste the
inline text into my document?

thanks for any help.

Hi Mike,

Yes, there is a way to remove the cross-references from your document before printing. Here's how you can do it in Word 2007:

1. Click on the "Office" button in the top left corner of the screen.
2. Click on "Word Options" at the bottom of the menu.
3. In the left-hand pane, click on "Advanced".
4. Scroll down to the "Print" section.
5. Under "Print options", uncheck the box that says "Print field codes instead of their values".
6. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Now, when you print your document, the cross-references will be replaced with their actual values, so you won't see any error messages.

If you want to remove the cross-references permanently, you can do so by following these steps:

1. Select the cross-reference you want to remove.
2. Press "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "F9" on your keyboard.
3. The cross-reference will be replaced with its actual value.

You can repeat these steps for each cross-reference in your document.

If there are only a few references, you can right-click to select each
cross reference (because left-clicking will cause the cursor to jump
to the picture) and press Ctrl+Shift+F9 to "unlink" the field,
changing it into plain text.

If you have lots of them, use this macro (see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed):

Sub FlattenRefs()
Dim Fld As Field
For Each Fld In ActiveDocument.Fields
If Fld.Type = wdFieldRef Then
Fld.Unlink
End If
Next
End Sub
