Multiple references to the same footnote ?
The sample update macro at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm added
to a toolbar button is a simple way of updating the fields in a document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Blue Max wrote: Thank you for the instruction on how this feature works. We have used wordprocessors that also provide a feature that will update or refresh all the cross-references upon request by the user. For example, the user can refresh all references in Corel Wordperfect by selecting a menu option to 'generate' the cross references. In our opinion, this is an extremely effective approach to making sure the references are functioning correctly and displaying the proper information. Thanks, Richard "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Cross-references unfortunately don't update automatically but should update when you print, switch to Print Preview, or update fields generally. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Blue Max" wrote in message ... Thank you, Suzanne, this appears to be exactly what we needed. However, we cannot get the cross-reference numbers to update after inserting a new footnote. We can right-click and update each one independently, but how do we force all the cross-references to update? Shouldn't this happen automatically and immediately by default? Thanks, Richard ************************ "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Insert | Reference | Cross-reference to Footnote: Footnote number (formatted). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Blue Max" wrote in message ... How do we put multiple references in the body of the text to the same footnote? For example, three superscript number "3" 's in different paragraphs that all refer to the same footnote. We also want all three footnote references in the body to be re-numbered (updated) if another footnote is inserted before the third footnote. Can this be done? |
