Okay, I know I'm jumping ahead in my learning process. Actually I'm just
about finished with chapter 3 of SBS. But I've got a document that I'm working on now, and I want to learn more about using cross references. Now, even though the exercise previously discribed (see original question) doesn't work, I figured I'd try to use a document I'm working on to follow the directions in SBS. Well, I have got some idea of how this works. But I've still have some issues: 1) What is the difference between a Bookmark and a Cross Reference? So far: I can see that a book mark just allows you to access a special location in a document. And once it's set; you can just jump there again using the Bookmark tab. But a Cross Reference seems to do just about the same thing. With the only difference between the two links is that one (the bookmark) is invisible in the document print and the other (the cross reference) is visible in document print. Now, I'm pretty sure I've got that right. But I wonder if there is any other real difference between these two options? 2) When I experiment with the Cross Reference option, following the directions in SBS (pp 241-242), best I can using my own document, I notice that when I choose Heading for the [ Reference type ] and Heading Number for the [ Insert Reference to ] and select [ a specific heading number in my document ] boxes, then I insert an close the cross reference dialog box--well this raises several issues: 2a) First of all, Word 07 enters the Heading Number into my document text. Not so bad, but....I all ready did that before I created the cross reference. So, now I've got two printings of the Heading Number. (The Lion Tammer -- that's me -- get's confused.) Which number does what? So, I experiment. I crack my whip! And I figure out which one was inserted. Great. I erase the original heading number before I set up a cross reference, and I leave the other one inserted by the cross reference process. 2b) Now I wonder if the inserted heading number, which was inserted by the cross reference process, will print as part of my document when I print it? Ah ha, it prints! 2c) Okay, so let's say I'm going through my document. I get to the cross reference point. I use Control + Click to access the cross reference. But I wanna go back to where I just came from in my document. If I undo then I lose the cross reference. O No! Then I've got to set it up all over again. That's not all: 3) What happens if I alter the outline of my document? And the cross reference heading changes? Will my cross reference also change in my document? And, if I print my document with the upgraded changes then will it print as such? Also: 4) When I chose Heading for [ Reference Type ], looking at only three of the choices (amoung the others) in the [ Insert Reference To ] box, I get slightly confused. What is the difference between: Heading Number, Heading Number (No Context), Heading Number (Full Context)? Then, there's an option for Heading Text. So, you kind of wonder: Which option is best for me? Ultimately here's what I want to be able to do: 1) Write a long document using various headings and sub headings. 2) If a later part of my document needs to cross reference a former part of my document then I want to be able to set up those cross references. I want to be able to do the same if a former part of my document needs to reference a later part of the same document. 3) I want to know that if I change the outline of my document that the cross references I've set up will also be updated accordingly. 4) I want to know that when I print my document that my cross reference are all correct (updates included) when I print. 5) I want to be able to go to a cross reference from any point in my document and return to the point that I cross referenced from just as quickly as I cross referenced to the point without deleting the cross reference mark in my document. Thanks for reviewing this query. I look forward to some exact clarification. Good day to all. |
