Tips
- Creating cross-references in Word (See [1])
- When using bookmarks (as in tip above), better make the bookmarks visible (Menu Tools → View → Show Bookmarks).
This will avoid to inadvertently insert text inside some predefined bookmarks (particularly relevant when cross-referecing the bookmark with field { REF } )
Fields and Switches
Fields
- The Seq field ([2])
| Field code | Result |
|---|---|
| { SEQ MySeq \# 000 \* MERGEFORMAT } | 000 001 002 |
- The = (formula) field
- Invalid character setting error → see section below
- The Ref field
- Example: { REF myBookmark \h } (\h indicates that cross-reference is also an hyper-link)
Field switches
- The format (\*) field switch ([3])
- The Numeric Picture (\#) field switch ([4])
- Examples: { = 4 + 5 \# 00.00 } displays "09.00", { = 9 + 6 \# $### } displays "$ 15", { = 111053 + 111439 \# x## } displays "492", { = 1/8 \# 0.00x } displays "0.125".
Troubleshoot
