Sorry all, I wasn't clear. I am manually applying a character style to my
cross-references and want to know if there is a way to associate the style
with the cross-reference so that the style is applied automatically when I
create or update the cross-reference. Perhaps I'm dreaming :)
Also, I still find that I lose the formatting when I make a change to the
cross-referenced item, even though I am applying a character style to the
cross-reference.
Thanks!
Lynn

Styles, styles, styles...
Word has a "hyperlink" style. Just change it to what you want. Or,
create your own.
Tell us what version of Word you have, and I can be more specific.
