Writer 7.6 for Linux
working with .ott, .odt, later on the master-document
Document (or a set of such) have numbered: headings, table captions, diagram captions.
When I put a cross-reference to refer to some spot in same document I always use Insert Cross-reference… > the tab Cross-reference > Table, or Headings, or custom type for graphics as Type and Number as Refer using. If to do same exercise for two sub-documents (master still not in use) and needed reference spots been created in past it appears to be impossible to use numbering of target spot as cross-reference text.
Is myself right with this finding?
- Existing intra-document cross-references, an example:
For more details see table 1.2
where “1.2” is the cross-reference - Cross-referring to reference created in other document, example:
For more details see table Family income annually
“Family income annually” is the cross-reference
You can see in second case the final text became a long string, its readability got worse.
If really not possible for inter-document cross-reference to show the target’s numbering to reader this document runs onto the problem of inconsistency. Unless, this document author decides to change existing intra-document cross-references to refer to targets’ text. This is also bad because this way the whole text becomes less readable.
