How do I change the style of a cross-reference text (into Italic .

[Lucas]

If you insert a cross-reference of a caption an insertion will be placed into
the text with for example "Table 1". The style of this insertion is normal
and starts with a capital letter. How can I change this text into for
example: "table 1" in italic?

Thanks in advance

Do the following to format a cross-reference in lowercase: Press
ALT+F9 to display field codes. Your cross-reference will display
similar (but not identical) to { REF _Ref93463814 \h }. At the end of
this code, add \* lower so that the code reads: { REF _Ref93463814 \h
\* lower }. Press F9 to update the field. Finally, press ALT+F9 again
to redisplay the field result. Note that this has to be done manually
for each new or existing cross-reference.

To make the text italic, you have to manually add this formatting. Of
course, adding font formatting can more easily be done with a
character style.
