Type Meaning

Set Reference Set target for a referenced field. Under Name, enter a name for the reference. When inserting the reference, the name will then appear as an identification in the list box Selection. In an HTML document, reference fields entered this way will be ignored. For the target in HTML documents, you have to insert a bookmark.

Insert Reference Inserting a reference to another position in the document. The corresponding text position has to be defined with "Set Reference" first. Otherwise, inserting a reference by choosing a field name under Selection is not possible. In master documents, you can also reference from one sub-document to another. Note that the reference name will not appear in the selection field and has to be entered "by hand". In an HTML document, reference fields entered this way will be ignored. For referenced fields in HTML documents, you have to insert a hyperlink.

Headings The Selection box shows a list of all headings in the order of their appearance in the document.

Numbered Paragraphs The Selection box shows a list of all ordered paragraphs in the order of their appearance in the document. The list includes: paragraphs with a paragraph style assigned a numbering scheme in the Tools > Chapter Numbering dialog ordered list paragraphs, formatted with the Formatting toolbar or Bullets and Numbering dialog paragraphs formatted with a numbered list style paragraphs formatted with a paragraph style with a numbered list style applied in the Outline & List tab.

Bookmarks After inserting a bookmark in the document with Insert - Bookmark, the bookmarks entry on the References tab becomes usable. Bookmarks are used to mark certain text passages in a document. In a text document, you can use the bookmarks, for example, to jump from one passage in the document to another. In an HTML document, these bookmarks become anchors <A name>, which determine the target of hyperlinks for example.

Footnotes If your documents contains a footnote, you can select the Footnotes entry. A reference to a footnote returns the footnote number.

(Inserted objects with captions) You can set references to objects that have captions applied. For example, insert a picture, right-click the picture, choose Caption. Now the object shows up as a numbered "Illustration" in the list.

References are fields. To remove a reference, delete the field. If you set a longer text as a reference and you do not want to reenter it after deleting the reference, select the text and copy it to the clipboard. You can then reinsert it as "unformatted text" at the same position using the command Edit - Paste special. The text remains intact while the reference is deleted.

Select the format that you want to use for the selected reference field. The following formats are available: Format Meaning Page number (unstyled) Inserts the number of the page containing the reference target. Referenced text Inserts the complete reference target text. For footnotes the footnote number is inserted. “Above”/“Below” Inserts "above" or "below", depending on the location of the reference target relative to the position of the reference field. Page number (styled) Inserts the number of the page containing the reference target using the format specified in the page style. Number Inserts the number of the heading or numbered paragraph, including superior levels depending on the context. See note below this table for more information. Number (no context) Inserts only the number of the heading or numbered paragraph. Number (full context) Inserts the number of the heading or numbered paragraph, including all superior levels. Chapter Inserts the number of the chapter containing the reference target. Category and Number Inserts the category (caption type) and the number of the reference target. This option is only available when the reference target is an object with a caption. Caption Text Inserts the caption label of the reference target. This option is only available when the reference target is an object with a caption. Numbering Inserts the caption number of the reference target. This option is only available when the reference target is an object with a caption.

The "Number" format inserts the number of the heading or numbered paragraph. The superior levels are included depending on the context, as necessary. For example, when you are in a chapter 1, subchapter 2, subpart 5, this may be numbered as 1.2.5. When you insert here a reference to text in the previous subpart "1.2.4" and you apply the "Number" format, then the reference will be shown as "4". If in this example the numbering is set to show more sublevels, the same reference will be shown as "2.4" or "1.2.4", depending on the setting. If you use the "Number (full context)" format, you will always see "1.2.4", no matter how the numbered paragraph is formatted.
