How to make cross references in word

In this video I show you how to make cross references in word. Cross referencing is when you refer in the text to another place in the text. This can be a figure, a table, a section, an equation, etc. This needs to be do in academic writing to link different parts of the document together. However often while writing the number of the figure/table/section/equation can change and it can be time consuming to go back and renumber all the sections so word allows you to create dynamic cross references that will update if the number changes. The cross references in word will also act as hyperlinks that will transport you to that point in the document.
Note that this will only work if you are using the official microsoft word headings/figures/tables etc.

Instead of 5 minutes introductory blurb, followed by 5 minutes of getting down to the point, by which time I have forgotten just why I was watching the video, this was straight in, clear, and concise. Much appreciated and thank you.

Thx a lot, Karina !

[@akilatabbi5507]

Thank you soooo much! Precise and concise. That was very helpful.

[@olindatime8697]

Thanks, it's very clear. How do you customise the case of cross references? I have a bookmark (e.g): "What was the purpose of ABCD?". I'd like the cross reference to say "what was the purpose of ABCD?" -- noted the cases of words. I can tweek field codes to lower case but then it also changes the acronym.

[@annasemina4045]

ATTENTION: Almost missed the deadline of my thesis submission because with those cross-references it is impossible to convert correctly the word file in PDF, there are spaces that appear near each reference

[@angelikajanik2194]

That's really helpful! Thank you

What is the process of populating the "Reference Types". In other words, how do i get titles to appear as a Figure or Table in the sub categories in the reference type drop down menu while inserting a cross reference.

All I want is to update a cross reference to a page. For example: On page 100, I say: See page 230 for more information on JFK. If I add info. and create new pages, the info moves. Now the info on JFK is on page 235. How do I get my page number to update from 230 to 235? Any advice appreciated.

Is there a faster way to cross reference? I work on scientific documents where you have to reference all the time. I hate going to have to visit the ribbon, clicking, then selecting whether it's a table or figure etc

[@wearetubes]

You probably solved this three years ago, but I have it on my quick access bar, so I just have to move my cursor up and click once to open the menu. If you found a faster way, let me know, but I find this method works pretty well.
You add it by going to the edit ribbon section under File > Options.

[@madhumalith]

thank you so much 🤩

So if you have 100 cross references and the numbers all change, do you have to update each one, one at a time? Would be nice if it updated them automatically, like in Endnote...

[@karinaadcock]

You should be able to update everything in the document at once by going into print preview and then going out of print preview. You can also try Ctrl + A to select everything in the document and then the keyboard shortcut F9 to update all the fields.

[@multiforc271]

NAH !
you can insert your references by number, and only use cross-references (numbered items), without being forced to insert every reference as a bookmark!
- in the cross reference, there is a tab, which you can select between difference categories; such as: Headings, numbered items, tables, figures, customized heading and such...

[@pmpbatais1196]
