Hello,

So my technical document writing experiment with OOo is continuing. I am
writing a short report related to Computer Vision.

While doing so, I have noticed that to cross reference a heading, I
first have to select that heading and then Insert Crossreference->Set
Reference and give the newly set reference a name. This itself appears
to be not quite intuitive. IMHO, how does a user know to use Insert a
Cross reference menu item to just set a reference? Perhaps there should
be a Insert->Set Reference Mark item? In any case, this can should be
improved.

Next, the interface to actually insert a cross reference to a heading is
also weird. To do so, I position my cursor in the text where I want the
cross reference, do Insert -> Cross Reference (this appears sensible)
and then select "Insert Reference"(which is also sensible). However,
exactly what value to insert is not clear. I want the heading number.
But there is no choice to do so. Only selecting "Chapter" works. How
does that make any sense? I do not have any chapters in my report at all!

If I am missing something and the above procedure is more intuitive than
I have experience, please feel free to correct me.

Just a little feedback with the aim of helping improve OOo to a high
grade document processing application.

Regards.
->HS
