wls Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I've got a block of text that I'd like to have the page number of some other piece of text elsewhere in my document. I can't figure out how to mark a piece of text as something that'd I'd like to get a reference too. I can't figure out how I'd drop in a page number to a reference.

walt.farrell Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 It's easy to understand why you can't figure it out: it's not possible to do any of those things at this point.

wls Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Ha! That is actually quite helpful, believe it or not -- it stops me for looking for those features for now. Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobmann Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 You are looking for the index function. This allows you to reference a text and output the page number (and text) elsewhere. Quote www.wobmann.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Unfortunately, that is not precisely the same. There is a difference between (a) compiling an index and (b) placing an anchor and referring to information related to this anchor (such as page number, paragraph content, paragraph number etc.) elsewhere. I must confess I haven’t tried the index function yet, but I imagine it will be extremely difficult to make this a workaround for a proper cross-reference system. Hmm. wobmann and Babelfisch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
