Right. They are not in the dialog box. They are field codes.

Look up Field Codes in the help or in an aftermarket book.

No, in Word 2007 there are no formatting options in thr Cross-reference
dialog.

Actually, I would hope not.

Sometimes I use cross-references to bookmarks to maintain consistent naming
for GUI items or product components. These things are formatted in a
specific way that I do not want overridden by hyperlink format, even if I
make the cross-reference a hyperlink. Sometimes I do want readers to be
able to hyperlink to the original description of the GUI item or whatever.

As someone else said, there's a switch on the cross-reference field thing to
govern whether the formatting stays linked to the text being
cross-referenced or not.

This way, every use case is accommodated. You can use the switch to let the
formatting be overridden. I can use the switch to make sure it is not.

And I'm happy that hyperlinks outside the current document can easily be
made to look one way, while cross-reference/hyperlinks inside the document
can be made to look another way.
