Enhancement to cross referencing facility
Last modified: 2005-02-10 15:32:33 UTC
In the word processor the existing facilities for entering cross referencing apply to such aspects as the page number, the cross reference description. I do a lot of work with numbered paragraphs and sub paragraphs and it would be a great enhancement to me if it were to be possible to enter a cross reference to a paragraph number eg "this is explained in paragraph 1.6. below" Paragraph 1.6 would then have a header reference (heading 3 with auto numbering) containing the text to be referred to and if the paragaph numbering subsequently changes the cross reference would of course change too. This facility is available in MS Word. With thanks for a great program suite.
reassigned to BH.
It is quite easy to reference to fields or such but there should be an option to insert a reference to heading in the Insert | Cross-reference -dialog. You can always set reference point, but it's more complicated. It would be nice when inserting a reference that you for example could select a style, then a paragraph and after that how the reference is inserted (numbering if para has one, whole para text and so on).
