Cross-references
FreeOffice: This feature is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.
With the Insert > Cross reference command, you can insert a reference to a
specific text element (for example, a bookmark or an object) into the text.
This command inserts a field that displays, for example, the page number of the
targeted text element. Thus if you have inserted a picture on page 3 of the document,
you can introduce a cross-reference to this picture – for example, “see
picture on page 3” – at some other place in the document.
Cross-references can target text elements of the following kinds:
bookmarks
footnotes
objects (pictures, drawings, etc.)
Cross-references to bookmarks are often encountered in large documents.
For example, if you want to insert a cross-reference to the index at the end of your
document, first put a bookmark at the beginning of the index. Then return to the
place in the document where the reference should appear, type something like “See
also the index beginning on page “, and insert a cross-reference to the bookmark.
The cross-reference now shows the number of the page on which the index begins.
Cross-references are updated automatically when the document is printed. They
can also be updated manually, if desired, with the Tools > Update Fields command.
The following pages contain detailed information about working with crossreferences.
