Re: link chapter heading references

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Robert,

For cross-references to an external document, you first need to bookmark the text you want to refer to in the source document. Then
you can use an INCLUDETEXT field to pull the text from the source document into your target document. See 'INCLUDETEXT ' in Word's
help file for more info. You can use the same update procedure I previously described for this.

Cheers

| Hi Robert,
|
| I hope you're using Word's Styles for this, and that your headings are in a suitable Heading style. If not, I strongly recommend
| doing so. Then it's really quite easy to cross-reference to them - via Insert|Cross-reference>Heading, and choosing the type of
| reference you want (eg the text or page number). Now, if the title (or page) changes, the links can be updated by pressing Ctrl-A
| then F9. If you've got a proper TOC, that'll get updated at the same time.

| Cheers

| | Two problems involving long documents. I've tried to search for these
| | topics, but haven't found an exact fit.
| | 1) I am editting a technical manual in which we often refer to
| | different sections of the book in the text. I was wondering if there
| | is any way to link the various references so that when we change a
| | section name, all the references will automatically change. Using
| | find/replace is not ideal because some section titles are also words
| | that we use commonly in the text, though not as references to
| | sections. Is there a macro I could use? I'm not much of a code
| | writer, but I do know how to use the VBA macro writer. Thanks
| | 2) We have now split the document into three different volumes. We
| | would like to make style changes effective over all three volumes.
| | >From what I have read in help and bend word to your will, it seems
| | like attaching a custom template to all three would work. Is this
| | correct? thank you. robert lamb
