Hello Gary, X-referencing has been vastly improved in OOo3.0 in fact you can now directly reference headings as well as numbered items. So, instead of having to set a reference to a heading and then use it, you can now skip the first step. I did change the existing references in a couple of chapters of the Writer guide, but in general, since the effect was basically the same I did not bother with all the others. In the Impress guide (some day I will start the "upgrade" to version 3) I used quite often references to numbered points describing step-by-step procedures and in this case I think I will exploit the new capability of OOo3.0 as this will allow to add or remove the number of steps in a procedure without having to correct the references manually. With regards to X-refs to other documents, I think you still need to define a document master, but I did not try. Cheers, Michele
