Version 3.0


The Custom Text feature has been extended with new functionality that is available in the Add Custom Cross-reference Text dialog boxes for Headings and Captions. You can now insert style tags to specify special part(s) of a custom text to which you want to automatically apply a character style. Insert a 'Start Style' tag where you want the character style to start. Insert a 'Style End' tag where you want the character style to end. You may insert more than one pair of style tags in a custom text. For further details, please refer to the "style tag" help available directly in the dialog box. The style tags:
<$> Style Start - insert where you want the character style to start
</$> Style End - insert where you want the character style to end


Two new commands added to the Cross-reference Tools menu:
Apply Blue Highlight to All Cross-reference Bookmarks: Applies blue highlight to all cross-reference bookmarks, i.e. bookmarks whose names start with _Ref.
Note that any manually added bookmarks used by cross-reference fields with other types of names will not be marked.


Remove Highlight from All Cross-reference Bookmarks: Removes highlight from all cross-reference bookmarks, i.e. bookmarks whose names start with _Ref.


Fixed an issue where cross-references to caption label number included both the label and number.
This occurred, for example, if the caption label included spaces or if the caption label ended with e.g. a period or colon.


The group in the DocTools tab has been renamed to CrossReferenceManager instead of Cross-references.
Note that this change does not influence the functionality.


DocTools CrossReferenceManager version 2.8 is not compatible with Word 2007.
However, earlier versions work with Word 2007. If you are using Word 2007, you can purchase license(s) to the newest version.


A new command, Restore Position of Insert Cross-reference Dialog Box, has been added to the Cross-reference Tools menu.
You can use the command to fix the problem if the Insert Cross-reference dialog box doesn't seem to open when selecting the command.
For example, the dialog box may be positioned outside the visible area if you are using another monitor setup than last time you used the Insert Cross-reference command, e.g. switched form two to a single monitor.


If the selection is at the end of a row in a table - regardless of whether or not the end of row marker is selected - pressing Enter will now insert a new table row below the selection even if the option Automatically fix bookmarks when typing Enter (to prevent certain cross-reference errors) in the Set Cross-Reference Defaults dialog box is turned on.
In previous versions, pressing Enter in that situation had no effect if the Automatically fix bookmarks when typing Enter (to prevent certain cross-reference errors) option was turned on.


In order to make sure that all options plus the OK and Cancel buttons in the Set Cross-Reference Defaults dialog box can always be made visible on the screen, the dialog box will show a scroll bar to the right if the dialog box is too high for the screen.
This may be the case with a small screen and/or a low screen resolution.


The help text has been updated as appropriate.


Revised help text about text boxes and cross-references to captions, headings and numbered paragraphs.
Added extra info about how you can handle cross-references to headings and numbered paragraphs found in text boxes.
The functionality of the add-in is unchanged from version 2.6.


Added new option in Set Cross-Reference Defaults: Go to Filter field instead of first field when opening the Insert Cross-reference dialog box.
When the option is turned on, the cursor will automatically be positioned in the Filter field each time you open the Insert Cross-reference dialog box, ready for quickly filtering the list.


Extended the option for selecting which Heading / outline levels to show the target items list in the Insert Cross-reference dialog box.
Previously, you could select to show all levels or level 1. Now that dialog box lets you show all levels or reduce the target list to show only Heading / outline level 1, 1-2, 1-3, or 1-4 if you select one of the heading types as the target type.
This is practical in long documents with many headings. Note that the changed setting has also been added to the Set Cross-reference Defaults dialog box.


Added further handling in case of errors caused by Word bug that may result in missing headings in case empty paragraph.


Add more misc. extra help in the Tips & Troubleshooting tab of the Help dialog box.
