Appendix numbering within the text

[Terri]

I have a large document that has at least 30 Appendices. I would like to
automate the numbering within the text. So far I've seen the Outline
Appendix suggestion from MS but that doesn't appear to be what I need. Is
this something that can be done with MS Word? I am desperate.

Have you looked at

The appendices are within the text like this:

"...2000 are listed in Appendix A. The teacher standards are currently under
review and revised standards will be released..."

Is there some way of inserting the "Appendix X" and having Word change the
letter "X" so it's the right letter in the the right order, such as "A", "B",
etc.? The term "Appendix X" is within the paragraph. I tried the
instructions on the Shauna Kelly site and Microsoft site and I end up with
the paragraph with the Appendix being reformatted, with a number in front of
it. Maybe I'm missing a step, or confused or those instructions aren't what
I'm looking for. Are the instructions on Shauna Kelly's site suppose to work
for what I need?

Thanks for the help.

If you have used automatic numbering of any kind (including caption
numbering) for your appendixes, then you can use Insert | Reference |
Cross-reference to insert a reference to the paragraph number of the
heading, numbered item, or caption, as appropriate.

Wow -- that was quick!

I haven't used any automated numbering. I've been using EndNotes for Tables,
Figures, etc. captions. So I can use the automated numbering for the
Appendices number within the text. I'll give it a try.

Shauna's method works. You need to assign a built-in Heading to the
Appendix. Then in the text use crossreferencing to the appropriate
heading to get it automatically picked up, and automatically changed if
later the Appendix number is updated (because you insert a new Appx
before the one you referenced to).

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I'm confused. You've been creating tables, figures, etc., as endnotes? Or
you have been using the EndNote product to do this? If the latter, then
perhaps EndNote also includes a way to cross-reference the captions.

 

[Terri]

My apologies - I'm using the product - EndNotes. I've checked and they don't
have a way of automatically numbering the appendix references in the text.
I'll try the technique you suggested.

Thanks - I'll give it a shot. I appreciate the help!
