[libreoffice-users] Re: How to Find Dangling Cross References in Writer
Interesting approach - strangely enough it's mostly when I've converted to pdf that I discover the problem. So I guess I am already using your method - I just never thought to use the Find feature in the pdf reader.

At the moment, I don't have time for creating macros, but thanks much for supplying all the code. Hopefully I can get to it after finishing my current project.
