The macro is non specific and will highlight any referenced bookmark.Ī = wdNoHighlightīkMrk = Trim(Mid(fCode, InStr(fCode, " ")))
The macro also highlights in red, references that do not have a corresponding table or figure caption or bookmark. By scrolling down the document, captions that are not highlighted and hence haven't been referenced can be seen.
Word will let me update each caption and cross. Rhonda by Rhonda Jat 6:29 am Hey Rhonda Sorry for opening this discussion up again, I seem to have a problem updating all at once. The macro below highlights in yellow all figure and table captions that are referenced at least once. These instructions work for both TOCs and cross-references just omit step 3 and update the cross-references using your Ctrl+A then F9 method. Here is a simple way of checking references to tables and figures.
#HOW TO UPDATE ALL CROSS REFERENCES IN WORD ON MAC TRIAL#
The add-in is not free, but it does come with a 15-day trial period. (It can do more than that, but this specific capability provides a solution to Guy's original query.) More information about the add-in can be found here: It can generate a list of all cross-references, including backlinks to the original document. One that is worth checking out is DocTools CrossReferenceManager. That would provide a list of all your cross-references, and you could update the index, as necessary, if you make changes to your cross-references.Īnother solution, however, is to use a third-party add-in to handle your cross references. I have also done the same thing in a new Word file but it didn´t work. I have tried to remove all bookmarks, cross-references, and made them from the beginning of the document, but it still does not work. For instance, assuming your cross references to figures and tables are automatically numbered by Word, you could place an index entry field ( Alt+Shift+X) next to each cross-reference field and then generate an index. It had previously worked fine but now will not update the cross-reference as it should. Pres F9 key to refresh all fields in Word. Press Ctrl + A to select the whole document. If you want to update all fields in the whole Word document, you can use shortcuts. Then the selected field has been refreshed. There is no way to do this natively within Word, but you could come up with some sort of workaround. Select the field you want to update, right click to display the context menu, click Update Field. Guy can't seem to find any information about making a list of all cross-references in a document so wonders if there is a way to do it. He needs to verify that every figure/table is cross-referenced in the body text. Guy is a technical editor working on long technical reports.
