When writing a paper, have you ever encountered a situation in which a reference is suddenly added, and then the serial number after inserting the reference has to be revised! What's more, in the previous literature review, in addition to adding the points that can be cited in this document, the serial number should also be changed one by one.

3-5 articles will do. What if it is 30-50 articles? You can do it manually. An hour at most. What if it is 300-500 articles?

I'm afraid I want to, but I can't! So, I studied in Baidu for 3 hours, using the existing papers and reference materials as practice materials. Finally, all automation has been realized.

Next, please study with me, * * * with the trouble and efforts to overcome this paper, goblin!

replace

? \[[0-9]{ 1, 5}\] is empty? Check Use Wildcards.

(Understanding: change the unification of [0]-[99999] to delete, where 0-9 means that the number on the digit is any one of 0-9, and 1-5 means that it can be located in one digit to five digits. )

Note: Cross references should be inserted at the selected locations. It doesn't matter whether there is a serial number or not. If there is [2], it will be overwritten by the referenced serial number [2]. So you can directly click on the blank space to be inserted, and the reference symbol will be automatically generated. (In this step, you must manually locate the references one by one. )

(Note: Clicking the main document will not select the number before the automatically numbered references. )

Select all references/parts to be modified, and right-click Batch/Uniform Update Field.

Need to remind everyone that after updating the domain, the upper corner mark in the reference may change the format. If this is the case, it will be OK to adjust it again by the fourth step.

I am a sharer, and this is the first time to write something online. If you find it helpful, please remember to give "appreciation and support". Thank you.
