RE: Cross-references with numbered headings

["Steve Hudson" <steve -at- wright -dot- com -dot- au>]

The new dialog has been added to the HATT files area with my other
utilities. It is called MegaXref and is in the Software Tools dir of the
files area.

HATT URL is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HATT

Functional Notes (No doco with proggy as yet)

Endnotes/footnotes only use the conventional note number, not the
"formatted" option. Endnotes and footnotes will insert a null for <Text>.


Technical Point of Interest:

Word cheats with the std numbered list x-refs. Although its list is
generated by the ActiveDocument.GetCrossReferences(type) function, if using
InsertCrossReference to address Numbered Items the offset used is for the
sequential order, by paragraph, of all items with a listformat. The
GetCrossReferences function only lists those entries with a NUMBERED
listformat, so the two sets of offset numbers are completely incompatible.

Eg: I have two bulleted lines followed by a numbered line. InsertCrossRef
thinks the first number line is Item 3, as two list entries precede it.
GetCrossReferences thinks it is Item 1, as it is the first Numbered entry. I
cant convert 1 -> 3 in any QUICK logical way.

If anyone has any extra info on this I will be much appreciative as I can
then soup this dialog up.


Extending the Functionality to Numbered Lists

What you CAN do is modify the macro in Utilities (different download, same
area) to pick up on a single x-ref (say a # ref to a #'d item) and add in
the others after it. When editing your document, merely insert the one key
x-ref when required, then after editing the entire doco, run the macro to
add the extras where they are required.


Proposed Updates

I plan on adding more pat phrases and making them sensitive to the choices
made - eg endnote and footnote can't refer to the item text, so those
options are of limited use.

PS - anybody got a macro that will insert the cross reference to a heading
and page number in one step?
