Help: Cross-Reference numbered items limit is 999
I'm working on cardiology guidelines with 100+ pages and 1200+ references
when I try to insert a cross-reference to a numbered item for references, I can't get past 999 even though I have more than that. Is there a way to make the other references show up? or is there a better and easier way to insert a superscript like hyperlink that links to references? thanks in advance!

Are your numbered items scattered throughout your document or are they in a list?
If in a list, perhaps use Endnotes instead of a numbered list? That would take care of your superscript in the text as well. |

thank you for answering!
this is a screenshot of the reference section: Capsssture hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB are you saying that there's a way to transform a numbered list to Endnotes? or should I insert Endnotes manually? because the second option is impossible with 1200+ references. |

If these were originally intended to be a simple list at the end (i.e. endnotes), you used the wrong feature.
Inserting the notes manually may be difficult, but it is not impossible. It is simply tedious. I can understand your frustration. There is no process or method built into Word to transform a numbered list referenced using the cross-reference feature into endnotes. Might it be possible to write a macro that would do this? Yes. If what you have is a simple numbered list to which you have scattered cross-references to the number in your document (i.e. endnotes without using the endnote feature) I would suggest posting a separate question in the Word VBA Forum with a link back to this one asking for help doing that. The title should be something like "Transform cross-references to numbered list into endnotes using vba." |
