Page References
I am attempting to reference a page in one file from a page in another file
so that if the pagination changes I can update the page reference by updating a field. I do not see a way to get the Pageref field to do this. I have seen a reference to the RD field but can not get it to work, I am not even sure if this is the correct approach. Any guidance will be appreciated. Marsh |

Hi Marsh,
In the source document: .. Insert a PAGEREF field pointing to whatever you want to refer to. .. Select the PAGEREF field, press Ctrl-F9 to enclose it in another field, which will look something like { #}, where # is your page # .. Edit the field thus created so that it contains: {SET PgRef #}, then press F9 to update the field. Note: the field will disappear and all you may see is a bookmark indicator. So you might want to put these fields in the document header or footer, where they're less likely to be accidentally deleted. In the target document: .. Insert an INCLUDETEXT field pointing to the source document, and add the 'PgRef' bookmark reference. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Marsh" wrote in message ...

Wow, a bit complex - I will study your suggestion, and give it a try.
I may be back for a bit more guidance. Thank you. Marsh "macropod" wrote: Hi Marsh, In the source document: .. Insert a PAGEREF field pointing to whatever you want to refer to. ..
