missing and double figures in cross-reference list
I am working with a doc that is about 15MB. This happens repeatably. This
issue happens in both the compatibility mode and Word 2007, both doc and docx formats. I have installed sp1 for Office. I do a fair amount of editing, including inserting new figures with captions, and updating all links. I have track changes on. After a while, when trying to insert a cross-reference, the list of figure references to insert becomes corrupt. Every other figure is missing from the list and the references that are there have double entries. The only way to fix this problem is to accept all changes. Anyone else happen to see this problem and know of any behaviour to avoid to stop this problem from occuring? Seems as if it is bumping into some kind of limit or overflowing some variable. |

missing and double figures in cross-reference list
This happens to me. The list is not corrupt (that is, there is no software
error). It is just that Word does not renumber until changes have been accepted--as you have discovered. To prevent the problem, I avoid inserting caption numbers while track changes is on, or to solve it I accept the change on each affected caption number (field). That way I get a reliable list in the cross reference dialog. Does anyone have a better solution? PamC patti wrote: I am working with a doc that is about 15MB. This happens repeatably.

missing and double figures in cross-reference list
Hi patti,
PamC has already given you an overview of the cause of the problem. Here's a macro that accepts all the tracked changes for fields (eg cross-references, page #s, etc) in the document: Sub AcceptTrackedFields() Dim oRange As Word.Range ' All Range objects - includes ranges in the body, headers, footers & shapes Dim Fld As Field ' Field Object With ActiveDocument ' Loop through all range objects and accept tracked changes on fields For Each oRange In .StoryRanges Do For Each Fld In oRange.Fields Fld.Select Selection.Range.Revisions.AcceptAll Next Set oRange = oRange.NextStoryRange Loop Until oRange Is Nothing Next End With End Sub -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "patti" wrote in message ...

Hi micropod,
Did the macro work in your case? I mean, it really updates the references but it does not correct the ones that are "corrupt". Has someone found the solution for this? Thanks in advance. Jorge Quote:

Ok, I just restarted Word and the problem was solved. By the way, it is the first time that happens to me and an application called Mendeley Desktop was also running meanwhile. I have found in related forums that this program causes Word instability... weird .
Cheers. |
