cross ref question
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a cross-reference in such a way that if I decide to change the description of the object that is being cross-referenced at some future point, then the name of the cross-references will change *automatically* to reflect this change so that I don't have to search around the document for all the cross references and change them manually (a nightmare!). For example, if I call a cross-referenced object "DA", and then at some future time decide to change the name to "DL", I want all the names of the cross references to that object to change from DA to DL automatically. I've been playing around with fields, bookmarks, and captions for longer than I care to admit, and I just can't get it right. Any help would be much appreciated. |

cross ref question
Nevermind! I just found the answer on Lene Fredborg's Doctools website.
Thanks Lene for a great (and free!) tutorial video.
