Cross-Reference

[joe925c]

Another conversion WP to Word situation. It appears to cross reference, in
Word , the target must be a "Header" style. When I look at the Styles
provided in Word there are two not named "Header" and some more "Header 1,
Header 2....." When I look at the Header x versus non-Header content, I do
not see any indication it is a Header style. I cannot cross-ref the
non-Header styles for sure. In WP I could mark the target anyplace in the
document (e.g., any character position). Then the name of that target could
be cross referenced by name (e.g., see page 4-12). There was no restriction
that it had to be a Header. How do I denote a style as a header so I can
cross-reference the location?

Hi joe,

In Word, if you want to cross-reference something that isn't one of Word's inbuilt reference types, simply bookmark whatever you
want to cross-referfence (via Insert|Bookmark) beforehand.

There is only one Header style in Word. The ones you are referring to are
probably Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. In addition to headings, you can
cross-reference numbered items, any defined caption (Table, Figure,
Equation, or user-defined), footnotes and endnotes, and, as macropod has
pointed out, anything you have bookmarked.

In truth, bookmarks are used for all of these, but the built-in categories
are ones for which Word automatically inserts a bookmark. If the item or
location you want to cross-reference doesn't fit into any of those
categories, then you have to insert a bookmark manually.

macropod and Suzanne,

Thanks for your replies. It works and is so easy once you know how! I have a
few other questions on other items but will wait until I get back home next
week.
