You're presumably wanting to add the \* MERGEFORMAT switch to the fields, though I can't imagine why you'd want to do that. It generally adds little of use and, with cross-references especially, that cause them to misbehave when you add content to the bookmarked range they reference. Obviously, though, if the field already has a \* MERGEFORMAT switch, you wouldn't want to add a second one.

I had considered that might be the case, but I'm very much a novice with VBA.

The problem I have is that the macro turns hyperlinks blue, but they revert to black whenever they are updated (unless preserve formatting during update is enabled). I often find myself having to manually change this setting on every cross-reference within a document which is a chore, so I'm looking at macros. Ideally this could have just been chucked into the existing macro seeing as they would generally always both be run together, but maybe I'm just making more work for myself.

Any suggestions will be graciously received!
