Editing cross-references in the endnotes

The Chicago Manual of Style, which I am using, requires that references to maps, figures, etc. in the main text be lower case. The insert Caption process and a cross-reference thereto result in a capital letter, e,g., see Map 3-2. By right clicking on the cross reference and choosing "lower case" this changes to "see map 3-2" and that remains after updating fields. Great!!

The problem I have run into is that this does not work in the endnote. The ctrl+click works, but the right click to edit to lower case does not--there is no option for "edit" on right clicking. Manually editing the field by adding "*_Lower" and updating results in the lower case. While the filed is still shaded, the ctrl-click does not work.

Is there a solution?

Paul, thanks.

That is what I had before. The underscore was just to show there was a space. I have spaces after the ref number, before and after "Lower" and after the "h."

I erased everything and started over. After manual editing the cross-reference still has the caps, but updating (F9) changes to lower case and the hyperlink works. I must have had an errant space somewhere.

As mentioned before, this problem was only in the endnotes and only for captions.

Problem solved.
