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 |

Help With Cross References
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.

Help With Cross References
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.
