characters. (See

See also) from the Type pop-up menu, and input the entry name in the Referenced text box, or drag the existing
entry from the list at the bottom to the Referenced box. You can also customize the See and See also terms
displayed in the cross-reference entries by selecting Custom Cross Reference from the Type pop-up menu. (See
