Ben, thank you for your idea. It is already possible with Insert -> Hyperlink -> Document (select document and the heading as target in document) Does this solve your problem? => NEEDINFO BTW: I don't see how it is possible to create a cross-reference to a word in another document. I didn't know of the the possibility to use Hyperlinks to other document. I'll see if that solves my problem. Using a cross-reference inside a document is easy. Step 1 is to create the reference. In step 2 you go to the position where the reference is needed and in the dialog, you select the desired reference. When you need a reference to a word in another document, instead of selecting the desired reference as in step 2 (this can't be done since the word does not show in the list), you can also manually enter that word in the name-field at the bottom of the dialog. After inserting the reference, you get an error-message (source can not be found), but when you go to the master document an in the navigator (F5) you update all the indexes, the reference is resolved correctly. [Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed Thank you for your explanation. Icould insert a cross-reference to a word in a sub-document and also to a heading of a sub-document. So I don't know, why you're not able to do so. But you see the headings in navigator? In the same way as creating a cross-reference to a **word** in a subdocument, I also managed to create a cross-reference to the **words** in the heading but not to the **heading** itself. How did you create a cross-reference to a heading in a sub-document? (In reply to Ben.Engbers@Be-Logical.nl from comment #5) > How did you create a cross-reference to a heading in a sub-document? Insert -> Field -> More Fields -> Cross-references -> Type "Headings": All headings of the document are displyed and you can select one. You can only see or select the headings in the same sub-document and not those in other sub-documents. (In reply to Ben.Engbers@Be-Logical.nl from comment #7) > You can only see or select the headings in the same sub-document and not > those in other sub-documents. That's clear. But also references in sub-document A are not visible in sub-document B. But if you open master-document and place cursor in text area of that master document (not in a part with sub-document) you can insert a cross-reference to any heading of a sub-document.

Does this solve your problem? => NEEDINFO No, I agree that in the master document one can insert a cross-reference to any heading (even those in subdocuments). This changes only the master document. But what I needed was the possibility when working in subdocuments to select a cross-reference to a heading that is used/created in another subdocument. Sorry, I forgot to change the status to UNCONFIRMED Prior versions of Writer allowed one to click on a cross-reference item [Insert Reference] and then be taken to that page in the document. I use this extensively. In the 7.6.2.1 version clicking on a cross-referenced item [Insert Reference] only opens the Indexes window, highlighting the cross-referenced entry that was clicked-on. If I right-click on that highlighted item and select GoTo nothing - that I can see - happens. I can no longer figure out how to go to the cross-referenced page. Looks like a bug, but I could well be wrong and should be doing something different. Advice very welcomed. |
