Cross-references are used to create links leading to other parts of the same document, e.g. headings or objects such as charts or tables. Such references appear in the form of a hyperlink.

2. Go to the References tab and click on the Cross-reference icon.

3. Set the required parameters in the opened Cross-reference window:

   

   • The Reference type drop-down menu specifies the item you wish to refer to, i.e. a numbered item (set by default), a heading, a bookmark, a footnote, an endnote, an equation, a figure, and a table. Choose the required item type.

   • The Insert reference to drop-down menu specifies the text or numeric value of a reference you want to insert depending on the item you chose in the Reference type menu. For example, if you chose the Heading option, you may specify the following contents: Heading text, Page number, Heading number, Heading number (no context), Heading number (full context), Above/below .The full list of the options provided depending on the chosen reference type

   • Check the Insert as hyperlink box to turn the reference into an active link.
