Warning
Please note that this function only works for links from the first to the second tab, but not vice versa.
If you use more than two tabs, please note the following:
- You can create the links from the first tab into the third/fourth/fifth etc. tab
- The other way round, the cross-references do not work, i.e. not from the third to the second tab or similar.
- Please note that if there are several tabs, it is easy to lose track of which element the reference should refer to; therefore, use cross-references only with caution in such cases.
1. In the first tab ("Tab 1"), set a cross-reference to the desired element (paragraph or heading; in the example "Clause 1.2").
2. Now copy the previously created reference and paste it at the appropriate place in tab two ("References").
Tip
With a Windows PC, you can use the key combinations Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.
To do this, first, select the reference and then press the key combination Ctrl+C. Move your cursor to the corresponding position in the second tab and press the key combination Ctrl+V.
In the preview in LAWLIFT, the reference is a functional field. If you click on the reference, you will be directed to the linked reference. LAWLIFT highlights the element in purple for better visibility.
The second tab refers to the correct clause, but no functional field is displayed. Accordingly, you will not get to the reference when you click on it. This only works in the first tab from which the reference comes directly.
Warning
When exporting your document, the field functionality is lost. Thus, no automated updating of the reference is possible, as Word can no longer communicate with LAWLIFT afterwards.
However, we have built in the possibility that the cross-tab references are taken over in the export in the respective number, e.g. "1.2". It should be noted, however, that the user must keep in mind to which document the 1.2 refers, as only the numbering is automatically taken over, but not the name of the document.
