6) Drag the item to where you want to insert the hyperlink in the document. The name of the

Using cross-references
If you type in references to other parts of the document, those references can easily get out of date
if you reword a heading, add or remove figures, or reorganize topics. Replace any typed cross-
references with automatic ones and, when you update fields, all the references will update
automatically to show the current wording or page numbers. The Cross-references tab of the
Fields dialog lists some items, such as headings, bookmarks, figures, tables, and numbered items
such as steps in a procedure. You can also create your own reference items; see “Setting
References” in Chapter 14, Working with Fields, in the Writer Guide for instructions.
To insert a cross-reference to a heading, figure, bookmark, or other item:
1) In your document, place the cursor where you want the cross-reference to appear.
2) If the Fields dialog is not open, click Insert > Cross-reference. On the Cross-references
tab (Figure 87), in the Type list, select the type of item to be referenced (for example,
Heading or Figure). You can leave this page open while you insert many cross-references.
3) Click on the required item in the Selection list, which shows all the items of the selected
type. In the Insert reference to list, choose the format required. The list varies according to
the Type. The most commonly used options are Reference (to insert the full text of a
heading or caption), Category and Number (to insert a figure number preceded by the
word Figure or Table, but without the caption text), Numbering (to insert only the figure or
table number, without the word “Figure” or “Table”), or Page (to insert the number of the
page the referenced text is on). Click Insert.
