Hi I know, that is not what you want to hear, but LibreOffice, OpenOffice or Word are not the best tools to write a book with cross-references, numbered paragraphs, and all thee other things you may need to write a book. The best tool I know for this is *Lyx ( http://www.lyx.org/ )* Quote fron: * http://www.lyx.org/ * “LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the *structure* of your documents (WYSIWYM<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYM>) and not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG>). LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX> /LaTeX <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX> with the ease of use of a graphical interface. This results in world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like academic articles, theses, and books. In addition, staples of scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation come standard. But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a novel or a theatre play or film script. A broad array of ready, well-designed document layouts are built in. LyX is for people who want their writing to look great, right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, “finger painting” font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just write. On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output — or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced — looks like nothing else. LyX is released under a Free Software/Open Source license<http://www.lyx.org/License>, runs on Linux/Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X, and is available in several languages <http://www.lyx.org/I18n>. “ End Quote I hope this answer was helpful to you Regards Frieder > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Feature-request-Cross-references-in-complex-documents-tp3117338p3117338.html > Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > -- > Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] > In case of problems unsubscribing, write to > [email protected] > Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette > List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ > All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be > deleted > > -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
