Changing text in cross-references

[Richard B]

I'm working on a document where I've created a numbering sequence that runs: RULE 1, RULE 2, etc.

From time to time, I want to refer to the headings in the body of the document, but with lower case (Rule 1, Rule 2, etc.). How can I do this? The Cross-referencing tool just inserts the upper case reference and I don't want to change to lower case manually every time.



Many thanks.

Richard.

You will have to manually add the \* FirstCap switch to the cross-reference (REF) field after it has been created.

Thanks, Stefan. I've found you can also do this by:
- right clicking on the field
- selecting "Edit field"
- selecting "Format"
- selecting "Title case"

OK, thanks for the follow-up. I remember that editing a field (via the context menu) was unpredictable in older versions of Word, so I haven't really tested it recently.
