Update text
Hi all, Can someone show me how I can update text using Lyx or Tex code? Basically, what I want is similar to the Bookmark + cross reference features in MS Word. For example, I create a bookmark with text update me. Then I create a cross reference somewhere else in the document. The cross reference also shows update me. When I change the bookmark text to you are updated and select to update the whole document, the cross referenced text now shows you are updated. Thanks for help!

Sure, this is one of the key features of LyX/LaTeX. I'm wondering that you are not getting automatically updated cross-references. Sorry for this question but have you read the LyX Tutorial? It explains LyX's basic features like cross-references. If you already have read the Tutorial and it doesn't work, please report back and I'll help you to get it working. regards Uwe

Just put a label: InsertLabel, with whatever text you want. Then put a cross reference to the label where you want. Change the label and the cross-ref will change, too, automatically, though of course all the labels have to have different names. If you don't want the label to show in output, just put it in a note (InsertNoteLyX Note). You can put the label in a note, too, if you really don't want it to be output. rh

I want a reference that does not output the reference/page where the label is, but the actual text of the label text. But this is then no cross-reference. If I understood you right, you want to have a macro that outputs certain text on demand. I possible solution for this is in the attached LyX file. regards Uwe newfile1.lyx Description: application/lyx
