Cross-references

Cross-reference is a reference to an element in another part of the document. MyOffice Text allows you to create a link to a heading, a numbered list item, or a bookmark.

tip

• In the current version of the application, you cannot work with cross-references of unsupported types (footnote, endnote, image, table, function) created in third-party editors.

To create a cross-reference, follow these steps:

1. Place the cursor where you want to insert a cross-reference.
2. On the Insert tab, click ** Cross-reference**.
3. In the Cross-reference window, in the Reference type drop-down list, select the elements to which the reference will lead: Heading, Numbered list or Bookmark. If you need to insert a cross-reference to a system bookmark, in the lower part of the window select the Show system bookmarks checkbox.

4. In the Refer to box, select the specific element you want the reference to refer to. This box will contain the list of all elements of the reference type selected during the previous step. The list will be generated automatically.
5. In the Insert reference to drop-down list, specify the numeric or text value of the cross-reference (see the table below). The list of values depends on the previously selected element type.
6. Click Insert.

Element	Description
Heading	Heading text: Heading text. Page number: The number of the page where the selected heading is located. Heading number (no context): A short number of the heading which is an item of a multilevel list. For example, the reference to heading 1.c.ii will look like ii . Heading number (full context): A full number of the heading which is an item of a multilevel list. For example, 1.c.ii . Above/Below: The word “above” if the heading is above the cross-reference, or “below” if the heading is located below the cross-reference. The position of the heading is identified automatically.
Numbered list	Page number: The number of the page where the selected list item is located. Item number (no context): A short number of the multilevel list item. For example, paragraph number 1.c.ii will look like ii . Item number (full context): A full number of the multilevel list item. For example, 1.c.ii . Item text: The text of the list item. Above/Below: The word “above” if the selected item list is above the cross-reference, or “below” if the item list is located below the cross-reference. The position of the list item is automatically identified.
Bookmark	Bookmark text: The text part where the bookmark has been set. This value can only be selected for the bookmarks in the selected text but not where the cursor is positioned. Page number: The number of the page where the selected bookmark is located. Item number (no context): A short number of the multilevel list item where the bookmark is set. For example, paragraph number 1.c.ii will look like ii . Item number (full context): A full number of the multilevel list item where the bookmark is set. For example, 1.c.ii . Above/Below: The word “above” if the bookmark is above the cross-reference, or “below” if the bookmark is located below the cross-reference. The position of the bookmark is identified automatically.
