Document references

Document references are links in Word or Excel that open to specific documents in the Working Papers file.

By default, document references will refer to the client file that is currently open in Working Papers. If no client file is currently open, then:

  • In Word, you are prompted to specify the client file.
  • In Excel, Connector uses the associated client file and if one cannot be found, then you are prompted to specify the client file.

To add document references:

  1. Click on the cell (Excel) or position (Word) where you want to add the reference.
  2. On the Add-ins tab, click Tools | Reference | Document.... Specify a Working Papers file if necessary.
  3. In the Document dialog, select the document(s) to reference.
  4. Modify the reference settings if required.
