Cross-referencing pages/headings from a different Word document usingRD
I am trying to write Session plans for a course I'm teaching. I have a
training manual and want to reference page numbers from the training manual into the session planner. What I want is if I make a change in the training manual and thus changing the page numbering to reflect that automatically in the session plans. I am familiar with the RD Fields and can import a TOC into the session plans. But when I try to insert a cross-reference into the session plan, the same Headings that are shown in the TOC are not available in the cross-references. Is there any way Word can do this? I'm using Word 2003. Cheers, Christos |

Cross-referencing pages/headings from a different Word document using RD
RD fields can only be used with TOCs and indexes, I'm afraid.
What you can do is the following: In the source document (your training manual), place the insertion point in the header for example. Then press Ctrl+F9 to insert field delimiters, { }. Type SET myref and then insert a cross-reference to the page number of your heading. You will see something similar to { SET myref 4 } (where the 4 in this example is the referenced page number). Press F9 to update the field. Use Alt+F9 to show/hide field codes. In the target (session plan), insert the following INCLUDETEXT field: { INCLUDETEXT "C:\\folder1\\folder2\\docnamehere.doc" myref \! }. (Notice that you should use double backslashes to separate folder and file names.) Repeat the above procedure for each additional cross-reference that you need. Of course, you will have to pick a different variable name than "myref" for the second and subsequent SET fields. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "cmd" wrote in message ...

Cross-referencing pages/headings from a different Word document using RD
The only reason I suggested using the header is because it minimizes the
risk that someone deletes the SET field inadvertently. It is possible that the creation of SET fields could be automated somehow, but I am not sure how that should be done.

Cross-referencing pages/headings from a different Word document using RD
Hmm, I made a quick test, and it does seem as if you can create multiple SET
fields using the PAGE field as a counter: { SET "myref{ PAGE }" { PAGE } } If this field construct is placed in the header you would get as many SET fields as you have page numbers in the document. I guess further testing might be required, before we can tell if this is stable.. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

I'm using Word 2003. Cheers, Christos Stefan thanks for your input. this is actually what I've been trying to do. I'm using this syntax in the source document: { SET myref { PAGE \*MERGEFORMAT }} and it works just fine. The problem is that I would have to make the bookmarks for everypage manually. Your suggestion to add it to the header was very interesting, but only if I could automatically create a different bookmark for everypage. Is it possible to do something like this: { SET myref{PAGE} { PAGE \*MERGEFORMAT }} or { SET myref{CHAPTER} { PAGE \*MERGEFORMAT }} I know the second field doesn't exist but it would be usefull to add a bookmark to the specific chapter. Is it possible to this kind of collation?: myref{PAGE} and create a bookmark name with the page or chapter attached to it? I know the above doesn't work because I've tried it. But is there any other way? Cheers, Christos I don't want all of them I just want when I reference a chapter to get the page number in the session timetable. I'm not sure if it's possible. It would be if I could construct bookmark names using fields as part of the name: i.e. { SET myref{PAGEREF _Ref238447828 \h} { PAGE }} Anyone know if this is possible? Cheers, Christos |

Cross-referencing pages/headings from a different Word document using RD
I think the manual approach discussed in one of my previous messages is the
easiest way, then. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "cmd" wrote in message ...

It is possible that the creation of SET fields could be automated somehow, but I am not sure how that should be done. Do you really need to reference *all* pages of the source document? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "cmd" wrote in message ... On Aug 19, 10:55 am, "Stefan Blom" wrote: RD fields can only be used with TOCs and indexes, I'm afraid. What you can do is the following: In the source document (your training manual), place the insertion point in the header for example. Then press Ctrl+F9 to insert field delimiters, { }. Type SET myref and then insert a cross-reference to the page number of your heading. You will see something similar to { SET myref 4 } (where the 4 in this example is the referenced page number). Press F9 to update the field. Use Alt+F9 to show/hide field codes. In the target (session plan), insert the following INCLUDETEXT field: { INCLUDETEXT "C:\\folder1\\folder2\\docnamehere.doc" myref \! }. (Notice that you should use double backslashes to separate folder and file names.) Repeat the above procedure for each additional cross-reference that you need. Of course, you will have to pick a different variable name than "myref" for the second and subsequent SET fields. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "cmd" wrote in message ... I am trying to write Session plans for a course I'm teaching. I have a training manual and want to reference page numbers from the training manual into the session planner. What I want is if I make a change in the training manual and thus changing the page numbering to reflect that automatically in the session plans. I am familiar with the RD Fields and can import a TOC into the session plans. But when I try to insert a cross-reference into the session plan, the same Headings that are shown in the TOC are not available in the cross-references. Is there any way Word can do this?
