I'll answer your questions in the opposite order, since the creation
of captions logically precedes inserting references to them:

2. For Word to be able to automatically create cross-references, you
have to create a caption label named "Exhibit" and use it to insert
your exhibit numbering:

a) On the Insert menu, click Caption.

b) In the dialog box, click the New Label button.

c) Click OK to insert.

d) Add the parentheses manually around the caption number.

e) Select the caption and create an AutoText entry for it for easy
insertion.

When creating the following exhibit captions, just insert the
AutoText.

AutoText entries can be copied between templates, but all
caption labels are (unfortunately) stored in normal.dot (the blank
template), which means that the Exhibit label must be created for each
individual computer where it should be used.

1. Create hyperlinked cross-references to the Exhibits, via
InsertCross-Reference.

...
We have a client that has created a word 2000 template for his
office. This
template will make reference to sections of text that look something
like
this:

"As you can see in Exhibit (XXX) the plaintiff will need to justify
his
expenditure.

.
.
.
further down in the document:

"Please refer to Exhibit (YYY) for details about this case"

These cross reference links - ie the words Exhibit (XXX), Exhibit
(YYY) will
"jump" to the actual exhibits (which appear as separate documents
included in
the appendix of the larger document).

My question:

1. What is the best way to create these jumps - as cross-references
/
hyperlinks / or bookmarks in the document?

2. The client wants these cross reference links to be "dynamic" in
nature.
What I mean by this is that if they have the following in the
document:

Exhibit (1)
Exhibit (2)
Exhibit (3)
Exhibit (4)

If they want to "insert a new Exhibit (2)" between the old Exhibit
(1) and
Exhibit (2), all the other Exhibits and their respective numbers
would be
automatically re-numbered so the pattern would look like this:

Exhibit (1)
Exhibit (2) ---- the new Exhibit (2)
Exhibit (3)
Exhibit (4)
Exhibit (5)

What is the best way to do item #2. I am thinking some sequential
field in
word


Here is more clarification:The dynamic numbering in the document is
to
appear within any giving paragraph. So for example:
______________
text text text text text (Exhibit1)text text text text text
text text text text texttext text text text texttext text text text
text(Exhibit 2)text text text text text text text text text text....

text text text text texttext text text text texttext text text text
texttext
text text text text(Exhibit 3)
_________________
Now, the client would like to be able to insert additional text with
a "new"
Exhibit 2, for example, between the exisitng first two "Exhibits".
If the
client enters more text, then the current Exhibit 2 will become
Exhibit 3
(and the current Exhibit 3 will automatically change to Exhibit 4)
because of
the added text and new Exhibit 2.

My thought is to modify Caption Style so it is not bolded, centred
text.
