Help With Cross References
I am writing my thesis. I have main body text of the thesis and at the end I
have the references [bulleted (numbered)] to journal papers as shown below:- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .......effective in stabilizing the enzyme structure [4] Early sol€“gel encapsulation of enzymes dates back to 1970s [5]....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [4].Mozhaev VV, Sergeeva MV, Belova AB, Khmelnitsky YL , Biotechnolgy and Bioengineering, 1990, 35(7), pp 653-659 [5].Johnson P, Whateley T, Journal of Colloid Interface Science, 1971,37(3), pp 557 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to make a clickable (ctrl+left click) reference to the particular journal paper at the end. I have done successfully this using cross references. Now if I want to change the number of the 5th reference ([5].Johnson P, Whateley ...) to [6]th how do I make the reference number [5] in the main body text (....dates back to 1970s [5].....) automatically change to [6]?? or how do I update that?? I tried "update field" as well as ctrl+A & F9 in the main body text but it would not change the number [5] to [6]. Or in other words I want the refernce at the end to kind of stick to the corresponding text in the main body. So whatever number I change to the reference at the end, the corresponding number in the main body should change to that new number automatically. Hope I was clear in my probelm. Please help me. Thanks in advance |

If you have used auto numbering for the references list and a hyperlinked
cross-reference (Insert | Reference | Cross-reference: Insert as hyperlink) to the "Numbered item," it should update with F9. -- Suzanne S.

Dear Suzanne,
Thanks for the quick reply. As I had mentioned in my problem that I had succesfully done the hyperlinking thing exactly the way you have suggested. But the problem is it does not update as I change the reference number (with F9 or "update field"). Its stays the same number in the body text on updating. "Suzanne S.

Can you confirm that you are using auto numbering in the references list?
Also, note that if you are tracking changes, numbering of all sorts will not be correct until you accept all the changes. -- Suzanne S.

Help With Cross References
Dear Suzanne,
I am not sure what do you mean by "auto numbering" in the references list. I just typed in the reference list and numbered them using the "bullet" function in the toolbar. I am also not sure by what do you mean ".....until you accept all the changes". When does it ask me to accept or not?? Is it during updating the cross reference?? I have never seen any dialog box pop up asking me to accept the changes or not while updating. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Can you confirm that you are using auto numbering in the references list?

Numbering applied via the Numbering button is auto numbering, but it is far
from the best way to number anything important; you should instead be using a numbered style. You are never "asked" to accept changes; it is something you have to do voluntarily, but from the wording of your question I suspect that you do not have Track Changes enabled. In any case, if your numbering is auto (field) numbering and the cross-reference is being inserted as you describe, then I can't imagine why you would be unable to update it with F9 unless it has been locked or unlinked. What does the cross-reference look like when you press Alt+F9? -- Suzanne S.

Help With Cross References
Dear Suzanne,
If I press Alt+F9 this is what I get in one of the cross references { REF _Ref153688591 \r \h } I also tried enabling the "track changes" option but still after accepting the changes and then updating the cross reference, it wouldn't update. Let me tell you how I inserted the cross reference. I click on the proper place in the body text where I want to insert a particular reference. I then click "insert-reference-cross reference". In the dialog box in "reference type", I select "numbered item". I check "insert as hyperlink". I leave "insert reference to" as default "paragraph number". I leave "include above/below" as unchecked. I select the particular reference from the list "for which numbered item". Then I click "Insert" button. Let me tell you again how I numbered the references. I typed in the references. Then I selected them using the mouse and then clicked the numbering button in the toolbar. They get numbered automatically. So now when I type in a new reference it automatically gets a number according to its position in the reference list and the other references below it get their number incremented by one automatically. So now if I update the cross references all the cross references corresponding to the refernces that got their number incremented by one should also get incremented by one (otherwise they would be pointing to wrong references) This is exactly what is happening. The cross refernces are not updating. I made a table of contents (insert-reference-index and tables-table of contents), table to figures for my thesis and it did update to whatever changes I made. There was no problem at all. Only these refernces is creating this problem. "Suzanne S.

Ok.
Can I take the liberty to ask one more question which is bugging me?? I have a new paragraph with a heading (font is formatted as "heading 2") in the middle of a page. Now I want to take that paragraph to the beginning of next page. So I bring the cursor to the heading and press "Enter". Each time I press "Enter" the paragraph goes down by one line. I keep pressing enter so that it goes to the beginning of the next page. But many times it doesn't goto the beginning of the next page but suddenly at some point it jumps to the middle of the next page. So I press backspace so that it may goto back the start of that new page but it again jumps back to some place in the previous page. I keep doing this back and forth.

The solution is not ever to use empty paragraphs to force something to the
next page. Instead, insert a manual page break (Ctrl+Enter) or format the paragraph as "Page break before."

"Smita" wrote in message ... Ok. Can I take the liberty to ask one more question which is bugging me?? I have a new paragraph with a heading (font is formatted as "heading 2") in the middle of a page. Now I want to take that paragraph to the beginning of next page. So I bring the cursor to the heading and press "Enter". Each time I press "Enter" the paragraph goes down by one line. I keep pressing enter so that it goes to the beginning of the next page. But many times it doesn't goto the beginning of the next page but suddenly at some point it jumps to the middle of the next page. So I press backspace so that it may goto back the start of that new page but it again jumps back to some place in the previous page. I keep doing this back and forth. Any idea why this happens and what is the solution?? |

That was cool!!
One more During making the reference list I was numbering using the numbering button. Now I want all the refernces to be lined in a straight line vertically. But what happens is the references from 1 to 9 are lined up but the references from number 10 onwards are moved to the right by a few spaces, then the references from 100 up are moved to the right further. I tried changing the parameters in "customize numbered list" in "Tab space after" as well as "Indent at" but it messed it more. What is the right way to do it?? "Suzanne S.

Change the "Number position" from "Left" to "Right" to align on the period.
The other settings will be changed automatically, but you may need to tweak them to get the appearance you want. -- Suzanne S.

You are just amazing!! Thanks a lot
One more I have formatted the heading and subheadings and sub sub headings of my paragraphs as follows: Heading - Heading 1 (should be numberd as 1) Sub heading - Heading 2 (should be numbered as 1.1) Sub sub heading - Heading 3 (should be numbered as 1.1.1) Now I want them to number them automatically. But using the "numbering" button and "Outline Numbered" option it wouldn't work. If the Heading 1 was numbered 1, then the subheading (Heading 2) got the number 2 and not 1.1. How should I do it correctly?? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Change the "Number position" from "Left" to "Right" to align on the period.
