Cross Referencing Images
Posted: 2010-09-06 07:54:06
Sorry if this is really a newbie question, but I've just squandered hours, in the documentation, searching the forum, googling more generally, and messing around with the NWP ...
I want to place a number of pictures in a long document, and be able to reference them, as in 'see figure 14, "East End Of Grand Canyon"' where "East End Of Grand Canyon" is both the caption title of the picture and the reference ID of the photo for the purposes of using a cross reference. It does not appear that I can even cross reference a photo as it doesn't appear that I can bookmark a photo, bookmarks being the method, I gather, for creating cross reference targets. Am I missing something obvious?
This is trivially easy in OpenOffice. I gather one can do it in Mellel, which I also like, but it seems mind-bogglingly complex. And the documentation in both NWP and Mellel leaves something to be desired in terms of depth of explanation. The ability to do this is sort of alluded to, but never actually explained.
I'd just do the project in OpenOffice, but a) I generally prefer NWP and b) I'm working with a colleague who has an older Mac with NeoOffice and it runs like a slug on his computer, whereas NWP runs just fine.
