keep in touch with the page numbering
I'm wondering if anyone can explain to me easily how to do the following.
I'm writing college notes and I often write see page x in my notes. The problem is that I add in notes and therefore page x becomes page y. Is there anyway to link the number that I typed to the page number i.e. if the page number changes so does the number that I wrote in my notes. Thanks |

Insert | Reference | Cross-reference. Unless you have a heading or numbered
item (or other automatically bookmarked item) on that page to cross-reference, you'll need to insert a bookmark on the page and then insert a PAGEREF to that bookmark. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks so much. I did that but it doesn@t seem to update itself. e.g.
something that was on page 11 and moved to page 12 it still says see page 11. Any ideas "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Insert | Reference | Cross-reference.

PAGEREF fields don't update automatically, but they should update when you
print, Print Preview, or Ctrl+A, Ctrl+F9. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "AYJ" wrote in message ... Thanks so much.

Hi AYJ
Follow the instructions from the previous posts. They do work I've just tried it myself. When the pages change Word doesn't automatically update the page numbers, which is a pain. If you right click your mouse and clik update bookmarks the page number will update. Why it doesn't do this automatically is anyone's guess! I'm not an expert on this either, but struggling with the same problem as you with a huge report with lots of page numbers. When I highlighted a block of text and picked update bookmarks, it did actually update all my page numbers that were in the text and has save me hours of printing and manual editing. Hope this helps. If not check the help pages in word on updating bookmarks. Best Wishes and Good luck with finishing your report. "AYJ" wrote: I'm wondering if anyone can explain to me easily how to do the following.
