Re: Word 2007 cross-references

[quills -at- airmail -dot- net]

Doesn't the dialog box include an Options button? That's where they are 
in my version of Word. When I had Word 2007 I didn't need to use that 
function so I never checked. But then MS compounded it's major error of 
not including any documentation other than help, by "fixing the GUI".
