I would like to create a template that inter-operates with Microsoft Word that looks like the following:
---------- Module 3 Sample module ... Example 3.1 ... Example 3.2 ... See Example 3.1 ---------- Where the "3" in the examples comes from the Module number 3, and the "1" and "2" are auto incrementing. The "Example 3.1" would be produced from autotexts. In "See Example 3.1" the "Example 3.1" portion is a cross reference. Files from the template could be combined into one large template. I have found no inter-operable way of doing this. I will outline the issues I have found below: Possible Solution 1 ------------------- Have a bookmark for the module number and cross reference to it. This has two problems: 1. Formatting issues: see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78205 2. No way of combining files as the bookmark name would get changed (e.g. to Module1) but the cross references would refer to the first occurrence of the bookmark (E.g. Module).See: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78679 Possible solution 2 ------------------- Use the chapter property of Number Range fields. Works nicely in Writer but can't export to Word. See: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78667 and cross references to Number Range fields don't get exported: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78666 Possible solution 3 ------------------- Use the Chapter field in Writer and STYLEREF field in Word. Again doesn't get exported/imported to Word. See: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78670 and http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78677 Possible solution 4 ------------------- Use variables. But these don't get exported/imported either: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78674 and http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78675 Any suggestions would be very gratefully received. I am willing to try and create some patches - some pointers would be useful.
