Hi All,

I'm writing a legal document and would like to write something like this.

As stated in section 12.1 bla bla bla

Problem is that the sections keep getting re-aranged. So 12.1 becomes
12.2 and then I need to go back and manually replace 12.1 with 12.2.

Is the some way to get word to dynamically update type of change?

Thanks
Warrick
