References to multiple docs Jolene 12/21/2008 10:25:00 AM Hi I am trying to cross-reference figures and tables from different documents in the current doc. I tried using the RD command, but it seems that only works for toc's. Could someone please tell me how to do this? Thanks!

Could someone please tell me how to do this? The RD field should work for tables and figures as well. Did you include double back slashes in the file paths?

Re: References to multiple docs Jolene 12/22/2008 5:45:00 AM Yes, I have. Could it be that I should include that code in every section of the doc?

Re: References to multiple docs "Beth Melton" <bmelton[ at ]mvps.org> 12/22/2008 4:48:21 PM No, the RD fields only need to appear once. Have you verified you can create a TOC for the tables and figures in one of your supporting documents? Try that and if it works you can copy/paste the field code to the document you are using to compile the TOCs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/HA102295841033.aspx "Jolene" <Jolene[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8EC067E6-AF89-4AB4-9627-4CDDC1D98899[ at ]microsoft.com...
