The chapter references seem to work somewhat erratically in OOo 1.1b2. The Insert/Cross-Reference dialog has tab References, when you can set and insert references. However, the "Chapter" format doesn't seem to do anything - the reference will be just a small gray box. The "Page", "Reference", "Above/Below", and "As Page Style" formats for the references work just fine. This works for me in some documents, but I can't get it to work again in new documents. I'll try to illustrate the problem with an attachment. Created attachment 6390 [details]
Chapter reference shows empty
*** This issue has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Reassigned to BH. Isn't this the same as issue 2204? If it is we have 8 votes already :) Yes will be nice get the cross reference working with outline numbering. I used it in long reports in M$Word. This kind of works for me using ooo 1.1 rc4. However, it only works when you select Tools/Outline numbering and assing numbering style "1,2,3, ..." (to level 1/heading 1). It does not work if you modify style from stylelist and assing numbering style (to heading 1). After assigning Outline numbering from Tools menu, I am able to make bookmarks/cross reference to heading and after that insert chapter reference of heading to the document. This is not very easy thought. I would like to see much simpler method for referencing chapters/headings. (is this related to bug 21062?) This is a duplicate of Issue 2204. So I will be closing this shortly as a dup. However, since it's been voted on already 15 times I urge everyone to transfer his votes to Issue 2204 since it sure is something which needs to be implemented soon. People keep asking about how to reference to a chapter heading, and one actually was thinking aloud about turning his back on OOo because of this. So concentrating all votes on a single RFE might speed up the process of implementation. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 2204 *** . |
There are often situations where it would be useful to insert a reference to a heading, in the same way as for a table or illustration caption - a choice between page, chapter number ("1.1"), full reference ("2.1.Widget Types"), etc. The code is obviously there and working for caption references - it should be a short step (I think) to extend it to headings. There has been much discussion on the users@ list about this, and the suggested work-arounds (mainly using a numeric range variable in the headings, or manually setting the heading text as a reference) are less-than-ideal.
