Re: Find cross-reference from reference

Hi =?Utf-8?B?S2hvc2hyYXZhbg==?=,

You exempted bookmarks. Does it mean, for them it is possible to go from
reference to corss-reference?
I have a fear of approaching Macros (I don't no exactly why, Its difficulty
to understand, fear of system crashh) so basically any solution which ends to
Macros, I simply gave up?!?

No, bookmarks aren't any different, really. Sorry about the confusion on that
point. It's just that I was concentrating on the "hidden bookmarks" that most
cross-references base on. It's comparatively rare to encounter people who even
know what bookmarks are and that they can be cross-referenced :-) Probably, the
same macro would also work for "plain vanilla" bookmarks, but I didn't test
that, yesterday.

I can understand (intellectually) your reluctance to "touch" macros. Along with
the reasons you cite, in recent years there's also been the concern about
viruses. But as soon as you want to do something that's not programmed into
Word, that's going to be your only recourse - or you do without.

My approach could also be used without a macro, it would just take a lot more
"grunt work". Click in the heading (or whatever) for which you want to find the
reference(s). Insert/Bookmark, make sure the "hidden" bookmarks (that start with
an _underscore) are displayed. Look at which one is selected - that should be
the bookmark name of the current text. To be sure, click "GoTo". Note the
bookmark name, then close the dialog box.

Press Alt+F9 so that the field codes are visible. Now Edit/Find and type (or use
copy/paste) the bookmark into the "Find" field. This should jump you to the
cross-reference.
