Hello gmayor,


thank you, thank you very much for you answer.



I want to tell you another thing.

When I write my book, I create progressive, manually .docx backup (Word 2010).



So, I saw im my backup folder, some months ago I had these backup files:


49_Backup.docx (19:17 - 29/12/2018)
50_Backup.docx (03:24 - 27/01/2019)
52_Backup.docx (16:14 - 28/01/2019)
[...]



They are simple backups ( I don't remember exactly what I did... )



In the 49_Backup.docx , no one cross-reference has \*MERGEFORMAT switch


In the 50_Backup.docx , a lot, the same cross-references has \*MERGEFORMAT switch. Almost every cross-references in my book. But... I didn't do nothing!



Do you know why??? How can be possible that Word add this switch?



EDIT 01: and, what do you mean when you write: "to retain the format of the item being referenced "
I'm sorry, but I didn't understand well.. =(




Thank you =)
