Cross Referencing (I think!)

[Guest]

Hi

I've created a legal document with specific clauses in. I need to be able
to update the reference to specific clauses if the main clause changes!! (if
you follow what I mean)

eg Clause 5.1 (if the original Clause changes to 4.1) I want the reference
to update automatically. How do I do this?

 

[Stefan Blom]

On the Insert menu, click Reference, and then click Cross-reference.
Choose a "Reference type" (such as "Heading" or "Numbered paragraph")
and then, at "Insert reference to", pick the desired type of reference
(text or number).

Can I do this without formatting?

I want to insert 'Refrence' without formatting, in fact it should be
formatted where it placed.

Regards,
Murtaza

Add a charformat swith to the ref field eg {REF Bookmarkname \*charformat }

thanks a lot. it worked

Now could you please tell me the fastest way to insert this field "REF
CompanyName \*charformat"

Will AutoText work?

 

[Stefan Blom]

If you want the same cross-reference at multiple locations (within a
document), you can use copy and paste. An AutoText entry would be
pointless unless you know for certain that your document always has a
bookmark named CompanyName in it.

Alternatively, you can insert the REF field using the Insert | Reference |
Cross-reference dialog and hand-edit it to add the \* charformat switch.

I have few Custom text field one of them is 'CompanyName', and i want to use
them while I drafting.
I am drafting a company written procedures, obviously its a lenghty
document.

this is how i want to use those custom fields while drafting:
......The content of a manual does not constitute nor should it be construed
as a promise of employment or as a contract between Co and any of its
employees....

In above example, I wish if "CO" automatically changes to refrence Field
with this fieldcode '{DOCPROPERTY "CompanyName" \*MERGEFORMAT}....just like
how AutoText work. OR Alternatively, if I can assign som keyboard shortcut
to insert this field.

Am I sound boring?

You can save the DocProperty field as an AutoText entry.
