Bill,

Yes. Here is my boiler plate answer to updating fields.

When a change is made, you can update the field by selecting the field and
pressing F9, or update all fields by pressing CTRL+a (selects all) and
pressing F9, toggling to and from print preview (if "Update Fields" is
checked in the FilePrintOptions dialog box), or running a macro something
like:

Sub UpdateFields()
Dim oStory As Range
For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
oStory.Fields.Update
If oStory.StoryType wdMainTextStory Then
While Not (oStory.NextStoryRange Is Nothing)
Set oStory = oStory.NextStoryRange
oStory.Fields.Update
Wend
End If
Next oStory
Set oStory = Nothing
End Sub

I found Edit - Select All - PF9 that will update
all selected fields. Is that the answer to my last post?

Thanks Greg, I thought that maybe bookmarks was
the way it was done when I searched the HELP text,
but the HELP text is really weak when it comes to
examples of how they are used.

Okay, so that works until the document expands with
the addition of additional text/pages. When that happens,
the reference becomes invalid. I.e., the referenced page
does not get updated automatically as the document
expands.

Do I have to do something else?

Bill,

You need to use a cross reference. Lots of ways to do it, but here
is one.

Go to whatever page blah, blah is described and select the text. Then
InsertBookmark. Lets name the bookmark "Blah"

Now go back to your text where you have See page. Put your cursor
after "page" then InsertCross Reference. Use Reference Type:
Bookmark
Insert Reference To: Page Number
Select Blah and click insert.
