In-document (cross-) references

Add a cross-reference

To add a cross-reference to an element that is elsewhere in the same standards document (like a table, a figure, an abbreviation, a list item or another clause), select Link, then Cross-reference from the REFERENCE tab and select the element you want to cross-reference to. The label of the element will automatically be inserted in your text.

Cross-referencing terminological entries

To cross-refer to an existing term entry under Terms and definitions, select the word or phrase, and either :

• go to the  INSERT menu, and click on the Term entry drop down arrow and select Link to existing term entry
• go to REFERENCE menu and select Link to existing term entry

To convert any word or phrase into a term entry in your draft, select it, go to the INSERT menu, and click on Term entry. The selected word is added as a new term entry under Terms and definitions clause and it is also automatically cross-referenced to the newly created term entry.

Modify cross-reference

To change the cross-referenced element, click on the cross-reference and select Edit. The cross-reference modal will open, and another element can be selected to link (cross-reference too).

Remove cross-reference

To remove cross-referenced element, click on the cross-reference and select Remove. The link to the cross-referenced element will be deleted.
