Hi,

I've taken over a large document that is crossrefenced
heavily, just internally for example, See <Chapter X> on
page <n>.
I can see that the cross references have been manually
formatted, either in bold, or in italics, or not at all.

I tried to see if the Hyperlink Style would apply to them,
but it will not do so, at least not automatically.

I've looked in the Help and on the support sites..am I
missing something really obvious here?

Please tell me that I dont have to create a separate Style
and manually apply it to every cross reference, past and
future.

Thanks
Susan

Susan,

Not sure I understand exactly what it is that you are trying to do. See if
CTRL+a then CTRL+spacebar won't remove all direct character formatting and
get you started.

Greg,

Yes, I can remove the manual formatting, but I do want to
use Italics on the cross referenced name, so that it
stands out from the body. I could create a char style and
apply it, but would have to do it manually for every cross
ref. In the example, See <Chapter X> on

>> page <n>, I want Chapter X to be italicised.

One can set the style for cross references in Frame, I was
hoping for something like that in Word?

Thanks
Susan

Hi Susan,

You could probably apply the italic formatting with "Edit > Replace":
Display field codes if they aren't already displayed (Alt+F9).
Then search for ^d REF and replace with "Format > Font > Italic" (or press
Ctrl+I in "Replace with:", leaving the text empty).

If just the chapter number is in the cross REFerence field, type "Chapter
^d REF" in "Find what:".

A character style probably isn't necessary or helpful.

Greetings,
Klaus
