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, 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 Format list, choose the format required. Usually this
will be Reference (to insert the full text of the heading or caption), Category
and Number (to insert the word “Figure” or “Table” and its number, 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.
Using bookmarks
Bookmarks are listed in the Navigator and can be accessed directly from there with a
single mouse click. You can cross-reference to bookmarks and create hyperlinks to
bookmarks, as described above.
1) Select the text you want to bookmark. Click Insert > Bookmark.
2) On the Insert Bookmark dialog, the larger box lists any previously defined
bookmarks. Type a name for this bookmark in the top box, and then click OK.
