Update of cross references with track changes on
I suspect this is a well known issue, but would still like to see a reply on
this forum. I use track changes regularly, because I often edit large documents collaboratively with other people. I also use automatic numbering of paragraphs and tables extensively, and my documents contain lots of cross references to paragraph numbers and table numbers. Any automatic update of a cross reference, with track changes on, results in the same cross reference text (e.g., a paragraph number) being added and deleted, with both the addition and the deletion being marked as changes. This should not happen. An addition/deletion pair should only appear within those cross-references where the paragraph number has actually changed. This behavior is very annoying, and I cannot find a justification for it. Why does Word do this? Would it be so difficult for Word to realize that the new paragraph number is identical to the old paragraph number and thus avoid adding a spurious pair of changemarks? I have read somewhere a suggestion to turn track changes off before doing a field update, but I really think the problem (the bug) should be solved in Word. Why hasn't this problem been solved after so many years? If this is a "feature" and not a bug, who needs this feature? |
