Version 2.4
The checks that take place before the Insert Cross-reference dialog box opens in documents with tracked changes have been changed to make the dialog box load faster in Word 2013 and Word 2016 (some macro actions in Word 2013 and Word 2016 are extremely slow compared to earlier versions of Word).
Instead, a new button, Fix Missing Headings, will now appear in the Insert Cross-reference dialog box if the document contains deletions marked with track changes.
Additional information is found in the dialog box and in the help.
The functionality of the Check and Repair Cross-references command has been extended to detect trailing spaces and tabs found in e.g. cross-referenced headings and let you automatically delete such characters.
In addition, the command will now ignore a cross-reference bookmark as a possible problem if the bookmark is missing only the first character of the paragraph and if that character is a page break or another type of break.
Changed to handle bug in Word 2013 and Word 2016 that resulted in "Compile error" when Language for non-Unicode programs was set to e.g. Chinese or Korean.
The language setting is set via Control Panel > Region dialog box > Administrative tab > Change system locale.
Define Custom Cross-reference Texts: To make the special characters work with e.g. Asian system language settings, all buttons for special characters now insert a visible placeholder as was the case for most of the characters in earlier versions. Nonbreaking Space now inserts <s>, En Dash inserts <en> and Em Dash inserts <em>. Previously, those characters were inserted as normal characters.
This change also makes it possible to distinguish those special characters from normal spaces and hyphens in the dialog boxes.
All the placeholders are automatically replaced with the real characters when using the custom texts to insert cross-references. You can see an overview of all the placeholders via the dialog box.
Custom texts you have defined in an earlier version of DocTools CrossReferenceManager will still work.
You may, however, edit existing custom texts to use the new placeholders it you wish.
In addition, the changes described above, corrections have been made to fix a few minor issues.
Correction made to make the add-in fully compatible with 64-bit versions of Word.
New option added: "Set Cross-reference Defaults" > "Inserted cross-reference replaces selection when possible". The option lets you determine what happens to selected text when you insert a cross-reference via the "Insert Cross-reference" dialog box
Correction of handling of some types of cross-references to certain custom headings.
Correction of handling of trial version in order to prevent problems with too short trial period in certain regions. This change only affects the trial version.
Minor change to allow insertion of paragraph using Enter key in form fields in documents protected for forms with a password (no influence on other documents).
Correction to handling of check box and text box for "Separator numbers with" (only related to cross-references to "Number (full context)".
