In Microsoft Word 2002, how does the user create a link from text to a
paragraph number, where if the paragraph number changes, the text
reference
tracks that change. For example, say paragraph number 2.3.3 is referenced
in
paragraph 3.5. Now, suppose paragraph 2.3.1 is deleted. Paragraph 2.3.3
then becomes 2.3.2, and this change is tracked in paragraph 3.5.
