This page is in the process of being translated. In time, the entire article will appear here. Until then, the full article is available in one or more other languages by clicking on the links at the bottom of the page.

Description of the Problem
Lets say that a sub-document (an inserted document) of a master document must contain a cross-reference to an element in another sub-document in the same master document. In the case, it is not possible to use the Fields window to define and insert the refrence in the "traditional" manner.
More Concretely...
Let's say that the master document contains a sub-document that details the contents of other documents. Sort of like a table of contents, but more detailed.
In this sub-document, we want the page numbers to appear, similar to a table of contents. For example, we might have the phrase "I discuss the relationship between dolphins and seals below (page X)." This "X" must correspond to a page in another sub-document of the master document (it does not matter if the other sub-document is above or below the current one). Because the document is in the process of being written, I do not know what page will be the first page of my chapter on the relationship between dophins and seals. If there is only one reference in my document, I could keep it up to date manually, then I would be treating my computer like a typewriter.
In this case, it is best to use a reference I call a global reference. Thanks to this reference, the page number will be updated with each change to the page.
Procedure
Since an illustration is more helpful than a long discourse, the following is an example of the technique;
- My master document contains a sub-document named dolphins_and_seals.odt<tt> containing a chapter titled "The Relationship Between Dolphins and Seals."
- my master document contains another sub-document, named <tt>abstract.odt<tt> that contains the line "I discuss the relationship between dolphinis and seals below (page X)."
- I want want the number (X) in "page X" to always refer to the page number of my chapter on the relationship between dolphiins and seals, regardless of any changes I make in the document.
Procedure for the Creation of a "Global" Reference
To create and use this global reference, follow the three steps below:
Step One: Defining the Reference
| It is assumed that a master document has been created, which contains a sub-document <tt>abstract.odt<tt>and the sub-document <tt>dolphins_and_seals.odt. | ||
| Action | Operation/Result | Shortcut |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Edit the sub-documents dolphins_and_seals.odt | In the Navigator, in the section "Links," double-click on the sub document dolphins_and_seals.odt | --- |
| —> NeoOffice opens the document dolphins_and_seals.odt and places it in front. | ||
| 2. Select the Text of the Reference | In this document, select the title "Relationship between dolphins and seals. (or simply place the cursor at the beginning of this title.) | --- |
| 3. Open the Fields | Under the Insert menu, choose Fields then | --- |
| —> NeoOffice opens the Fields dialog | ||
| 4. Choose the Tab | Choose the References tab | --- |
| 5. Define the Reference | In the left column, select "Define a Reference" In the Name (in the bottom right of the dialog box), give a name to this reference, here "relDolphinsSeals" « Nom » (en bas à droite de la boîte de dialogue), donner un nom à cette référence. Ici : « rapDauphinsPhoques ». | |
| Attention ! Retenez bien le nom que vous donnez à cette référence — écrivez-le sur un post-it si nécessaire — car il n'apparaîtra plus par la suite ! | ||
| Astuce : sélectionner le nom de la référence à l'aide de la souris, puis le copier (Pomme-c) (le nom se trouve maintenant dans le presse-papier, il suffira ensuite de le coller — Pomme-v) | ||
| 6. Insérer la définition de la référence | Cliquer sur le bouton « Insérer »… … puis fermer la boîte de dialogue Champs en cliquant sur le bouton « Fermer ». | |
| —> NeoOffice referme la boîte de dialogue « Champs » après avoir créer la définition de la référence (invisible) | ||
| 7. Enregistrer le document | Enregistrer le document dauphins_et_phoques.sxw (Et fermez-le si vous n'avez pas d'autres modification à faire dessus). | Pomme-s (puis Pomme-w) |
