How to Write a macro to automate Cross Refrenceing?

Guessed · #4 04-18-2022, 07:19 PM

Your code works on my machine although I did change it to separate the inputbox out

Code:

Sub crosscurve()
  Dim str As String
  str = InputBox("what is the number of curve do you want to refer?")
  Selection.InsertCrossReference ReferenceType:="curve", ReferenceKind:=wdOnlyLabelAndNumber, _
      ReferenceItem:=str, InsertAsHyperlink:=True, _
      IncludePosition:=False, SeparateNumbers:=False, SeparatorString:=" "
End Sub

The things I would expect would cause it to fail are:
1. The existence of a 'Curve' caption is at the application level. The presence of some curve instances in a document brought from another machine is not enough to tell Word that the type exists. Have you inserted at least one Curve caption on that machine?
2. Is it sensitive to capitalisation?
