Can't Re-set Cross-Reference Dialog Box

[Vivian Carroll]

Word 2002:

When I insert a cross-reference for a bookmark, I am
unable to programically get the cross-ref dialog box to
change from bookmark to numbered item. Whatever entry is
previously done manually by the user (e.g. bookmark), stays in the cross-
ref dialog box until manually changed to something else.

My goal is to have the cross-reference dialog box open defaulting to
"Numbered Item" and "Paragraph Number" and then have the user select which
paragraph to reference.

This is my code:

With Dialogs(wdDialogInsertCrossReference)
.ReferenceType = wdRefTypeNumberedItem
.ReferenceKind = wdNumberFullContext
.InsertAsHyperlink = True
.InsertPosition = False
If .Display = -1 Then
.Execute
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End With

TIA, Vivian

Hi Vivian,

I think you might have to resort to the use of SendKeys

Thank you Doug - it works!

Here's the code I came up with.

With Dialogs(wdDialogInsertCrossReference)
'Cursor is in Reference Type box, select Numbered Item
SendKeys "n"
'Move to Reference Kind box, type "p" for "Page Number"
'then move down one item in the list to Paragraph Number
'then press Enter to select Paragraph Number
SendKeys "{TAB}""P""{DOWN}""{ENTER}"
'Move to Insert As Hyperlink, check it by typing hot key "h"
SendKeys "{TAB}""h"
.Display
End With
