I don't know if professor Morgan is a real professor, of the Ph.D. ilk, but he definitely knows something about instructional design. Let's face it, this stuff is dry. His presentation is very efficient which helps the videos from going on for too long. The professor provides just enough useful information within just the right amount of time before the brain, at least mine, starts wandering off. He annunciates well so I don't have to keep replaying the video to understand what he said. One video was all it took to convince me to subscribe.
The cross-referencing save me tons of times when I have to insert another figure or table in middle of document. Instead of manually delete and type out the number, I just need to update it once. This is very useful.
wow! I just came across a bookmark in a document for an assignment and tried to understand what it is and how it works. I found lots of information online but couldn't get my head around it. Your video is so helpful! Thank you so much!
Hello sir. It really helped. My assignment is due by tomorrow. And, i was stuck at it. Unable to learn from any other videos but yours. I appreciate that. But, could you make a video on reference alignment and text alignment which says 'hanging'. I mean, it goes different with the reference and text
Thanks so much for helpful videos, please what is the differences between types of citations in biography? And how to change the type of references to numeric after finishing writing paper.
hi, this video is what I am looking for. i have a question on the cross reference feature you showed at the end of the video. is it possible to make the hyperlink underlined and in a different color so that the readers know that's a link to that section? otherwise, if someone reads : See also 6. Parking, i think someone can just scroll down to section 6 without knowing that's the link to take to that section directly. I find this tutorial very helpful for what I am about to do similar . But I want to know if you can publish this document to go live online and still has the same hyperlinks you created within this document. Thanks so much!
Well done. Clear and concise. However, you could slow down a bit. For people who do not have English as their first language, they could potentially find it difficult to follow you.
Hi Cynthia, Sorry it was too quick for you. Half my comment say I go to fast, the other half says too slow. It's a hard balance for various learners. I am glad you found it clear and concise and I'll try to move slower in the future. Thanks for watching.
Hello, thanks for this, nicely explained... now I have to go practice it :-). I have a Q or 2... which I will try very soon, but I figured I'd ask in the mean time... If I save this as PDF cause that's what we do, will the cross-refs (CR) and bookmarks still work? The second right now is, is there a function that while I'm reading the doc and hit a CR that I can immediately go back to where I was reading to continue on... you know, so not to loose my train of thought'ish :-). Regards, Kevin
Not sure if this has ever been done before but my bookmarks are highlighted pieces of my bibliography/works cited on a page break...page and I am using in-text citations...cross-referencing the bookmarks I made to link the viewer to my bibliography...when I hover over my in-text citation that has been cross-referenced it doesn't say Current Document; is this because I cross-referenced a bookmark where you cross-referenced a heading? I would really like to know why when I hover over the in-text citation it doesn't say current document but instead something just like "BuildingMaintenance" if it were a bookmark... mine says "Martin2020". Thank you!
Hi, thanks for video. Is it possible to cross link between different word documents on onedrive folder and will it remain same on all devices similar to google doc?
This is very helpful, but I tried following it to insert a bookmark cross-reference and it would not insert the bookmark I had created.....not sure what I did wrong.
This is a totally kickarse tutorial. It gave me the final piece I was having issues with watching another video. Thanks for making creating a bookmark easier. I had thought I had to highlight the part I wanted it to go to, instead of having that blinking cursor next to where I wanted it to go. I was wondering why the link section was greyed out. You have really saved me an extra 20 minutes of work. Thanks again!!!
Great video. With cross referencing, what would happen if you added a Heading and 6. Parking now became 7. Parking. Would the cross reference still take you to 6? How Do you account for that?
Hi Paul, I believe the numbers update automatically. I know Footnotes auto renumber if you put them in between each other so I imagine cross references would do the same.
Hello Professor Morgan, thank you for your tutorial on Hyperlinks, I found it very useful as I am in the process of editing a very large document. What I would like to know is, once you use a hyperlink to jump to another part in a document, how do you get back to where you were before you hyperlinked?
Is possible to have a hyperlink to a specific page/section in a word document from a different document? I trying to have a link that would open the document in the specific section
Hi, Sort of, you can reference the document, but not a specific page/section. So after you click the Link button, choose the 'Existing File or Web Page' section on the left. Then you can browse through your files and choose a file to Reference. What I recommend is adding the Page Number in your first reference so that the user knows where to go in the new document, once they click on it. I hope this helps, thanks for watching.
Hello Adam. Is it possible to make dynamic cross-references to paragraphs which can change their numbers and location? I have a difficulty in this matter, because whenever I create a cross-reference, it appears as static. When I prepend a paragraph, the reference directs to prepended paragraph and not the native one. What would you suggest?
Hi Tan, You could make the bullet a Heading Style so that you can reference it in the Cross Reference section. I hope this helps, thank you for watching.
So I have Document A. 2 pages long and it contains approximately 12 hyperlinks to Document B. Document B is over 1,000 pages long and contains approximately 7,000 bookmarks. I insert a hyperlink into document A and it comes out C:\Users\YaddahYaddahYaddah I save the document and close. When I reopen the same document the hyperlink no longer works, even though it was confirmed to work before. I right click and click on "edit hyperlink". The hyperlink is no longer C:\Users\YaddahYaddahYaddah. Instead it is now ..\..\..\..\..\Actual%20File%20Name\%20\YaddahYaddahYaddah What the hell is going on with my hyperlinks and how do I fix it? Important notes: other than saving and closing the files after inserting the hyperlink, neither document is changed, renamed or moved to another location in any way. Both word docs are in the same folder, under My Documents on my laptop. There is no external hard drive, thumb drive or anything else.
Hi Nathan, First off, thank you for a well-written question with all necessary information. Unfortunately, I have never experienced this issue and didn't know how to proceed. Apparently it's a pretty common error. I found a forum where hundreds of people experienced this issue and many people offered different answers for different scenarios. Since I don't know how to fix this, I recommend having a look through this thread and trying some of their solutions, I hope it helps: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/word-2013-hyperlink-converting-to-20-20/4e8a2e8d-b889-4c77-8276-551b11e296d4
if using Word 07, go to top left corner to click on the windows icon > word option > advanced, then under "Editing Option" click on the box regarding ctrl + hyperlnks. That also effects cross-references.
I know you knew about the recent events, previously the Philippines is the eye of the storm quiet inside chaotic outside, of course they would work to silence the Superguard as they try to creep inside with reverse effect of friction inside peaceful outside, but then their attempts foiled and failed but like medications theres side effects like the amakaryunohirameki of Battosai Kenshin that even if it was parried and jammed at its path by Shishio, theres the Dragon tail to smash like side effect 2nd weapon, the reason why theres Tail cutter 2nd blade. To what I in those 2 Characters, can be To and Fro or Both.
Theres already a paperthin computers of metamaterials types, typewritten in message form or what if with finger code analyzer installed that when read by microthings in computer appeared like concealed dots or lines on the surface then pushed scrolled up until out of paper computer then into the matrix environment outside either atmosphere pathway or space pathway and the computer paper thin back to white as if a bond paper.
5:30 Is there any significant difference between inserting a "cross reference" and inserting a "hyperlink"? The only that I can notice are how Word visually displays them differently (hyperlinks are a different colour/underlined) and the text of the "hyperlink" word can be different than the header it links to. I've been using hyperlinks in my document to link to different headers. However, I tried to insert a hyperlnk into a footnote that would lead to a header in the same document but it wouldn't allow me. Thanks to your video I was able to insert a "cross reference" link instead, though I had to change the colour of the font to make the link stand out more.
Hi, everything is very clear. Thank you. I still have 1 problem. When I bookmark a text (highlight it) if I use the option "find - go to" the text get highlighted and it is very clear to see the whole bookmarked text (like in your video), BUT if I use a hyperlink and click on it the site moves to the start of the "text bookmark", but in this case the text does not get highlighted and it is not clear anymore which part of the text is part of the bookmark. I am using office 365 but seems to be the same like word 2016.
Why is that, if I press Ctrl and a hyperlink from a cross-reference, it also adds a text next to my cross-reference, with the name of the bookmark where it is linked to. For example, it adds the following words: { REF Continut \h}, whereas the word `Continut` is the name of the bookmark where it goes to. It is annoying to have that, as adding text, is changing my whole layout, and can not correct the document properly. Basically, how can I prevent the [Field Code] showing up on my page, as soon as I click a cross-link, please? Thank you!
You have a lot of very helpful information but it is extremely hard to follow. You talk way too fast for me a beginner and the small curser is hard to follow. A different type of curser would help. if you would explain what you are doing and hesitate a moment, between your selections and clicks so people like me can see where the cursor is and what you are doing before you click, click, click and move on, would also be helpful. I like what you are presenting. I have slowed the play speed of the video but I still have a hard time finding the small curser, maybe you could make it larger and make the color RED so it would be easier to find. You have gained another subscriber. I now only hope I can find your videos a bit easier to follow. Thank you for sharing your work and knowledge.
thanks a lot, it is helpful, but can I put arrows (>>>) in first place , I press on them , then I will redirected to the second place ? without insert bookmark......
Hi Sekhar, Only in the Bibliography section from what I know. I am not sure about cross-references. I did find a link that might help you out, here it is: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/word/cross-reference-links-update
very important point that was not mentioned is that the name of bookmark cannot include spaces. Details like this need to be pointed out, explicitly stated.
How would I be able to add a hyperlink into a document that takes me to a specific point with in a PDF. I am able to add the hyperlink to the general PDF, but I am not able to narrow it to the specific section.
Hi Prof, is there a way in which you can have a question and only reveal the answer when the question is clicked? like in some FAQ pages only for word this time?
I can't get the bookmark function/display - I have a Mac computer and the dialog box under "file" has a different menu and there is no "options" - please help me - thank you so much
Have you already tried going to the 'insert' tab and then to the 'link' button? When you click on link (which has a little drawing of two links of a chain) the insert bookmark option shows up
I have difficulty hyperlinking in-text citations to the bibliography using Mendeley. If you are able to show make a video on this or outline the steps for me here, it would be very helpful
Hi Eve, I am not familiar with Mendeley software. I'll look into it and possible make a video in the future. Thank you for the suggestion, and for watching the video.
