The Microsoft Manual of Style has this as a couple of the ways to define cross-references:
Correct .... see "Formatting an Outline," p. 226. .... see Chapter 17, "Outlining and Organizing a Document." For information about using the Outlining toolbar, see "Starting an Outline," page 221. For information about using the Outlining toolbar, see "Starting an Outline" in Chapter 17, "Outlining and Organizing a Document." For information about using the Outlining toolbar, see "Starting an Outline" earlier in this chapter. -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Nancy Allison Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 2:52 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Cross-ref formats Some follow-up questions: 1. I've been looking at the Chicago Manual, 15th edition. I'd expect a great honking treatment of this subject, but I'm not seeing it. All the cross-reference i9nformation is presented with reference to indexes and bibliographies. The sections referring to cross-references "in text" are discussions of the editor's obligation to check cross-references! Is there an exhaustive section on x-ref format, in text, that I'm missing? 2. I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you , to discover just what a stick-in-the-mud I really am. I thought italics were sacrosanct for referring to the titles of separately bound publications. (Although how purely electronic publications can be "bound" is a topic for another day.) But .. . you've all gotten over this hurdle and use italics to identify cross-references? Like: "See <open italics> Pots and Pans <close italics> on page 85," where "Pots and Pans" is a couple of paragraphs with header in a much longer chapter of a much larger *separately bound* publication, whether physical or digital? Really? I must sit down. In that case, do you also put your italicized x-refs in a different color, so as to distinguish them from the titles of separately bound publications, which you might also mention in your text?
