Hi, I have appendices labelled as follows in the 1st image below. When i cross reference to the this in my body text, the entire name of the appendix comes through e.g.  "included in Annexure 6: Mind Maps and on".I need the reference to only say Annexure 1. Is this possible.

    True, if the text "Appendix" (or whatever) is included in the numbering (as you suggest). Many people just type it in rather than fighting with MS automated numbering and having to setup separate heading style(s) for the appendices.

    Pay attention Rohn: the OP wants Table of Contents entries, not cross-references!!!!!!!!!

    That's not clear; cross-references are specified ("When i cross reference to the this in my body text"). The TOC may be shown merely for illustration of the complete appendix titles since a cross-reference would have to be to the heading itself, not to the TOC.
