For bookmarks, the number of the paragraph in which the bookmark has been
set is shown. For this to work properly, the paragraph must have been given a
numbering using the Format > Bullets and Numbering command. If the paragraph
has not been numbered, the cross-reference will show a zero.
This option is not available for objects.
Editing and updating a cross-reference
FreeOffice: This feature is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.
Cross-references are fields; thus, what goes for fields in general goes for crossreferences
as well: they can be formatted, deleted, copied and moved in the same
way as normal text; however, their contents cannot be edited directly.
Tip: Whenever you want to see a document’s cross-references and the targets to
which they refer you can check the Display Field Names option on the View
property sheet of the File > Properties dialog. Then the cross-references will be
displayed in a form in which their type and their target is visible – for example,
“{Reference.Bookmark.Page:name_of_bookmark}”.
Updating cross-references
Just like all other kinds of fields, cross-references are not updated automatically.
For example, if you move the target of a cross-reference to another page, the page
number displayed by the cross-reference continues to reflect the original position
of the target.
However, when you print the document, TextMaker automatically updates all
fields (including this cross-reference) to reflect the latest state of the document.
Thus, when you print the document you can be sure that all cross-references will
be correct.
As needed, you can also update the fields of a document manually by invoking the
Tools > Update Fields command (keyboard shortcut: (F9)). All fields and calculations
will then be brought up to date.
Invalid references: If you delete the target of a cross-reference, then of course the
cross-reference becomes invalid. In such a case, when you update the document,
the message “Target not found!” is displayed in the text by the cross-reference.
You can correct this problem by removing the cross-reference and inserting a
new one (with a valid target).
