A search didn't find anything and the help file is very silent on the subject.

What's the difference between wdNumberFullContext and wdNumberRelativeContext. They seem to produce the same result.

I have three levels of headings, with the following number format: 1.0, 1.1, and A.

Full and relative show 1.1A, no context shows just the 'A'.

I used the following macro:

Code:

Sub ShowXref()
    myHeadings = ActiveDocument.GetCrossReferenceItems(wdRefTypeNumberedItem)
    With Selection
        For i = 1 To UBound(myHeadings)
            .TypeText myHeadings(i)
            .TypeText Chr$(9)
            .InsertCrossReference ReferenceType:=wdRefTypeNumberedItem, _
                ReferenceKind:=wdContentText, ReferenceItem:=i
            .TypeText Chr$(9)
            .InsertCrossReference ReferenceType:=wdRefTypeNumberedItem, _
                ReferenceKind:=wdNumberFullContext, ReferenceItem:=i
            .TypeText Chr$(9)
            .InsertCrossReference ReferenceType:=wdRefTypeNumberedItem, _
                ReferenceKind:=wdNumberNoContext, ReferenceItem:=i
            .TypeText Chr$(9)
            .InsertCrossReference ReferenceType:=wdRefTypeNumberedItem, _
                ReferenceKind:=wdNumberRelativeContext, ReferenceItem:=i
            .TypeParagraph
        Next i
    End With
End Sub

Thanks in advance
