Hi Dieter, Is there another way to delete a cross-reference other than to delete the entire span it targets?
(In reply to Jim Raykowski from comment #1) > Hi Dieter, > > Is there another way to delete a cross-reference other than to delete the > entire span it targets? I don't think so. Help says: "To remove a reference, delete the field."[1] [1] https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-GB/text/swriter/01/04090002.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=modules/swriter/ui/fldrefpage/FieldRefPage#bm_id3149042 BTW: I've found two other reports regarding cross-references and navigator: Bug 87078 comment 2 suggest to add an option "insert cross-reference" to headings and perhaps other elements in the navigator Bug 43254 asks for the possibility to change a name of a reference (perhaps it it could be possible in the navigator?)
Still present in Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c856f9bec12d98ed49f01578ded79f16ae7be051 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL Actual situation: The is now the category "Fields" in the navigator and you can delete every entry here. but still not possible to delete a reference. But i think I was wrong with my previous comment, because it was about the field type "reference" and not about the reference as a target of such a reference field.
