Cross-references and links to multiline displays

Version: 3.5x, 4.x, 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word

With keys, you can create cross-references to a whole multiline display or to each numbered line within the display. Multiline displays with custom numbering can't have keys.

When you export a document to HTML, use hypertext links to multiline displays instead of cross-references.

Adding a key for a whole multiline display

  1. Select the display.

  2. On the Standard toolbar, click Property button or, from the Edit or Context menu, choose Properties.

  3. Choose Advanced.

  4. Click Enable Subequation Numbering.

  5. In the box labeled Key for Whole Display, enter the key.

  6. For each line in the display, check Auto in the Number area.

  7. Choose OK.

Adding a key to a numbered line of a multiline display

  1. Select the display.

  2. Choose Properties.

  3. In the Line Number area, select the number of the line for which you want to add a key.

    If the display is a single equation on multiple lines, select the last line of the display.

  4. In the box labeled Key for this Line, type a key.

  5. Choose OK.

    In the document window, the key appears in parentheses in the small box containing the display number. The key doesn't appear when you typeset the document, but it may appear when you print the document without typesetting, depending on the print options.

Creating a cross-reference to a multiline display

  1. Place the insertion point where you want the reference to appear.

  2. The program substitutes only the number of the keyed item, so type the appropriate identifier (such as Equation) in your text just prior to the reference.

  3. On the Typeset Object toolbar, click Cross Reference button or, from the Insert menu, choose Typeset Object, and then choose Cross Reference.

  4. Select Object Counter.

  5. Enter the key for the whole display or for the line for which you want a reference.

  6. Choose OK.
