Numeration of references

[Antonio]

Hello!

I have a document with a Bibliografy.
The entries are like this:
[1] entry 1
[2] entry 2


[x] entry x

Sometimes, in some part of my text, I have to reference to some of them.
Some authors [1],[2],[3] believe that....

but instead of [1],[2],[3] I would like to put [1,2,3] when I'm inserting
the references.

How could I do it?
could you help me, please?

Best regards,
Antonio.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CombineXrefs.htm for general
principles, but note that, if the brackets are part of the number format, it
may not be possible to put the range within a single set of brackets.

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for your answer.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CombineXrefs.htm for general
principles, but note that, if the brackets are part of the number format, it
may not be possible to put the range within a single set of brackets.

Yes, the brakets are part of the number format
How could I solve it to get the references as I would like?

thanks for you help,
Regards,
Antonio.

That may well require a macro, which I am unable to supply. Perhaps someone
else can help?

If you do not need the references to be hyperlinked to their source, which
they could not be in that format anyway, you run the following macro to
unlink them and replace ],[ with a ,

Dim af As Field
For Each af In ActiveDocument.Fields
If af.Type = wdFieldRef Then
af.Unlink
End If
Next af
With Selection
.HomeKey wdStory
.Find.Execute FindText:="],[", MatchWildcards:=False, _
Format:=ClearFormatting, ReplaceWith:=",", Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
