Inserting Cross-References

You can automatically add page references in printed manuals and hyperlinks in online outputs. The page numbers will not appear in online output.

  1. In the Word source document, place your cursor where you want the cross-reference to appear.
  2. In the Doc-To-Help ribbon, select Cross-reference > Cross-reference. The Cross-reference dialog opens.
  3. Set the Reference type to Heading.
  4. From the Insert reference to field, select Heading text.
  5. From the displayed list, select the heading to which you want to link.
  6. Click Insert. The heading text is inserted.
  7. Click the Close button.
  8. With the insertion point immediately following the cross-reference (reference field), go to the Doc-To-Help ribbon and select Cross-reference > Complete Cross-reference.
  9. The page reference is inserted and the heading text is enclosed in quotes. Also, the text is set to "on page" by default. To change it, use the Project Settings dialog. See Setting Project Properties.

Note You can also specify that all hyperlinks in your manual output remain active when you create a PDF (links to website URLs will be live). To do this, open the Help Targets dialog, choose the Manual target and select the Live Links and Create Master Document check boxes. Please note that popups will not become live links in manual or PDF formats because those formats do not have a popup feature. See Editing Target Settings.
