what needs to be done to update references?
situation:
I am working on a WORD document and refer to the chapters by inserting references using the menu "Insert" - "Reference" - "Cross-Reference" then on the popup, I select "Reference Type" = "Numbered Item" and then in the list below I select the chapter I would like to refer to for example in chapter 4 (description of content), I describe what is presented in chapter 10 next the situation occurs that I have to delete an entire chapter (for example, I delete chapter 9) RESULT: in chapter 4, the text says "Chapter 10 presents ..." EXPECTED: I would expect an automatic renumbering and the line in chapter 4 to say: "Chapter 9 presents ..." The hyperlink does still work and leads from the "10" in chapter 4 to chapter 9 !!! QUESTION: what needs to be done to correct the reference-content (that is: the pagenumbers) after a chapter is deleted? |

Select the entire document (press Ctrl+A) and then press F9 to update
the cross-references (as well as other fields). You may also want to enable the option to "Update fields" on the Print tab of Tools | Options. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "FJ" wrote in message ... situation: I am working on a WORD document and refer to the chapters by inserting references using the menu "Insert" - "Reference" - "Cross-Reference" then on the popup, I select "Reference Type" = "Numbered Item" and then in the list below I select the chapter I would like to refer to for example in chapter 4 (description of content), I describe what is presented in chapter 10 next the situation occurs that I have to delete an entire chapter (for example, I delete chapter 9) RESULT: in chapter 4, the text says "Chapter 10 presents ..."
