I have some code that works fine in Word 2003 for displaying notorious
Insert Cross Reference dialog. This is to display the dialog so as to
insert a cross reference to a Figure caption.
With Dialogs(wdDialogInsertCrossReference)
SendKeys "%t{home}ff"
SendKeys "{enter}"
SendKeys "%r"
SendKeys "{down}"
SendKeys "{enter}"
SendKeys "%w" 'move to list of references
rtn = .Display
End With

This code does not work in Word 2007. In Word 2003 the "ff" moves the
selection first to Footnote, and then to Figure. But in Word 2007 the
second "f" does not get done, and the selection is stuck on Footnote.
I have spent hours trying find something that works, but nothing does.

Does anyone know how to get this to work?

Thanks,

Brian Murphy

Try

With Dialogs(wdDialogInsertCrossReference)
SendKeys "%t"
SendKeys "fef"
SendKeys "{enter}"
SendKeys "%r"
SendKeys "{down}"
SendKeys "{enter}"
SendKeys "%w" 'move to list of references
rtn = .Display
End With

I am not sure what would be considered more notoriously unreliable, the
Cross Reference Dialog (which I consider does behave itself better in 2007
than it did in previous versions) or SendKeys.

Thanks for the suggestion, Doug.

I gave it a try, but the problem still remains. The selection is
still stuck on Footnote.

Did you try it yourself and it worked?
If so, what Application.Build of Word2007 are you using?

Well darn!
Do you have both Footnote and Figure in your list of available
reference types?

I have MSO SP2 from the following download
www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b444bf18-79ea-46c6-8a81-9db49b4ab6e5&displaylang=en
Word tells me I've got
Word 2007 (12.0.6425.1000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)

How can I get build 6514 of Word? I don't really expect it to make
any difference, but you never know.

When I manually do Insert/Cross Reference, I have to type "fef" slowly
to move the selection from Footnote, to Equation, to Figure. If I
type the "fef" quickly, the selection stays on Footnote.

Something wierd is going on. I've tried it on three different
computers with the same result. Grrrr!
