What is a Cross Reference?
A cross reference refers to an element that is found in another part of the document. For example, you may have a sentence such as "We will discuss this case in more detail on page X" where X is the number of the page on which the case is discussed. As you continue to edit the document, the number of the page you are refering to may change. NeoOffice allows you to insert a target at the place in the document to which you want to refer, and then use it to insert a cross-reference.
How to Insert Target for a Cross Reference
Suppose that you have a section of text in your document that you want to refer to elsewhere, or that you want to be able to find easily. To insert a target at this place, you must select the word or phrase that you want to mark (it is enough just to place the cursor in the word or the phrase without selectinng it.) Then, under the Insert menu, choose Cross reference... The Fields window opens, with the References tab selected. Make sure that Set Reference is selected under Type and then enter a name for the target in the Name field. It is always good to give the target a name that clearly identifies it. Then pressOK The Fields window closes.
