[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Well, if you wanted to use a page number, but only if the reference was not
on the same page (in which case I might argue that the Xref is unneeded
anyway; a plain-text "above" or "below" would probably do), then I guess
this format would fill the bill, but not if it's going to be as
problematical as it seems to be.

Indeed, an item on a previous page is obviously still "above" and an item
on a following page is "below." If you wanted to reference the page
number, you wouldn't use the "Above/below" option in the first place...

Don't feel bad, Stefan. It is only recently that I also learned this, by
reading about it in these NGs. I never dreamed the switch would do
anything beyond "above" and "below," as, like you, I don't interpret
those
words as applying strictly to the current page.

Stefan:

It evaluates to "on page 99" when the target is on a different page
than
the
x-ref. Please try it by editing a PAGEREF field in ANY version of Word.
