Re: Word 2007 cross-references

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

"Logically." it would make sense for the "insert as hyperlink" checkbox to have 
an accompanying "apply hyperlink style" box (I believe you will find a similar 
selection in the "autoformat as you type" option).  Doing it automatically would 
pretty much render hyperlinked cross-references useless to anyone creating 
printed documents in Word.
