Hi All,

Cross section is correct if its a noun

cross-section is correct if its an adjective

What about verb forms:
cross-sectioning or cross sectioning
cross-sectioned or cross sectioned

In the latter two cases, please tell me why and how you found the answer - I've been looking and see very confusing usage out there.

Thanks!

Deborah
