--- Comment #79 from Joseph Ervin <[email protected]> ---
Even worse, after using the cross reference workaround for years where you use
a special counter variable name for each subdoc, something appears to have
changed in Libreoffice (using version 3.6.3.2 presently) that breaks this
workaround.

In employing the workaround, I would typically create a new counter variable
type in each subdoc.  This is easily done while adding a caption simply by
typing the name directly into the caption type field of the caption dialog box,
i.e. rather than just selecting one of the options in the drop down (Table,
Illustration, etc.).  So if I'm working on a subdoc called "foo", I would
create "fooTable" captions.

This automatically creates a counter variable called fooTable, and a paragraph
style for the caption called fooTable.  However, I don't want the reference
text to say "Refer to fooTable 3-1 on page 33", so I would simply delete the
"foo" from the actual table caption, and all was well,...the cross reference
text would follow suit.  

However, in the latest version of Libreoffice, I now see that if I touch that
caption text to remove the "foo", Libreoffice seems to be detecting that
caption text no longer matches the paragraph style, which in turn is bound to
the counter variable name. 

So on its face it seems like the Libreoffice/openoffice team has conspired to
break the only decent workaround for this hugely problematic and longstanding
bug.  

Swell.

Regards,

Joe
