Cross-Reference Color

[lindald]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I have inserted cross-references to Tables, Figures, and Headings in my Word documents and want the cross-references to be in blue because they are active hyperlinks. I've created a character style called Xref which just changes the font color. It works perfectly on my PC, and seems to work on the MAC until I save the document - then the cross-references return to black.

Am I missing something? How do I get my cross-references to remain blue?

Thanks,

Linda

Use the built-in style "Hyperlink" (blue). Word switches it behind the
scenes to "Followed Hyperlink" (Purple) when you click on it.

You do not have to apply these styles, if the text is a hyperlink, Word will
apply them automatically.

Also: check that the document template is not attached with the
"Automatically update styles on open" setting turned on. If it is, your
style will be wiped by the one of the same name in the template each time
the document is opened.

Hope this helps
