Dynamic page number variable?
I am creating documents where certain parts of the document refer to other
pages or parts of the same document. i.e. "Please refer to page 12". The problem with this of course is if I insert anything then the original contents of page 12 could be pushed to another page. Is there some way such as a dynamic variable that can be placed on the referenced page and therefore the correct page number will always be referenced? Something like this "Please refer to page" %Pgn1% maybe? Thanks, Joe M. |

Dynamic page number variable?
Place a bookmark on the material you want to refer to. Then insert a PageRef
field to display the number of the page on which the bookmark currently rests. After editing that might change the page number, you'll have to update the field. The simplest way to do that is to go to Print Preview and back (assuming you have checked the option "Update fields" in Tools Options Print). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

You need a PAGEREF field, inserted via Insert | Reference | Cross-reference.
If what you are referencing on the given page falls into one of the built-in categories (headings, numbered lists, etc.), then you can just select the desired item and choose the "Page number" option. If not, you'll need to bookmark the referenced text and insert a cross-reference to the bookmark. Note that PAGEREFs don't always update automatically but should update when you print or Print Preview (or of course if you update all document fields with Ctrl+A, F9). -- Suzanne S.
