two files providing example

I want to insert Document A into Document B as Chapter N.  Both docs are from same template, same styles. Examples attached.

Insert -> Section -> Link

Document A appears as Chapter N in Doc B, properly formatted.  Table of Contents recognizes the new chapter.  

I then create a cross reference in Doc B to Chapter N.  The cross reference appears.  I save, I close.

Then, when I reopen, I get the error "Error: Reference source not found" in the place of the cross reference. I can still see Chapter N.  It is still in the ToC, still referenced as a Section.  But the cross reference does not work.
I tested this on both Windows 7 and Linux (Ubuntu 12.04).

Hmmm, why not use master document? Master document is designed for this kind of use.

That said, I reproduce the described behavior with the master (Build ID: 32af02b) under Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64.

Best regards. JBF

I did not use a Master document because what I wanted to achieve was something fairly simple (or so I thought).

Comment 5 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2013-07-12 20:24:56 UTC
Hmmm, I am afraid I should have confirmed this bug report because I reproduced the behavior described by the reporter. For me the bug is still reproducible with current 4.1 branch (actually Version: 4.1.1.0.0+ Build ID: 5156749cde88c5274b36a22dab7b561d59b93cf)
Will set the bug as NEW.

Best regards. JBF

Dear jrdegan,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
