Cross-reference

Product: MyOffice Professional, MyOffice Standard

Application: Text Desktop version macOS

A 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.

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.

Insert a cross-reference

To create a cross-reference, follow these steps:

1.Place the cursor where you want to insert a cross-reference.

2.Open the cross-reference window in one of the following ways:

•In the Insert menu, select Cross-Reference.

•On the Toolbar, in the Insert section, click t_more . In the insert pane that appears, click t_insert_cross-reference 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 field, select the specific element you want the reference to refer to. This field 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.
