Linking to another part of a document
If you type in references to other parts of the document, those
references can easily get out of date if you reorganize the order of
topics, add or remove material, or reword a heading, OOo provides
three ways to ensure that your references are up to date, by inserting
links to other parts of the same document or to a different document.
• Hyperlinks
• Cross-references
• Bookmarks
The first two methods have the same result if you Control+click the
link when the document is open in OOo: you are taken directly to the
cross-referenced item. However, they also have two major differences:
• The text in a hyperlink does not automatically update if you
change the text of the linked item (although you can change it
manually), but changed text does automatically update in a cross-
reference.
• When using a hyperlink, you do not have a choice of the content
of the link (for example text or page number), but when using a
cross-reference, you do have several choices, including
bookmarks.
Using hyperlinks
To insert a cross-reference as a hyperlink in your document, use the
Navigator:
1) Open the documents containing the items you want to cross-
reference.
2) Open the Navigator (by clicking its icon, choosing Edit >
Navigator, or pressing F5 .
3) Click the arrow next to the Drag Mode icon and select
Insert as Hyperlink.
4) In the list at the bottom of the Navigator, select the document
containing the item that you want to cross-reference.
5) In the Navigator list, select the item that you want to insert as a
hyperlink.
