Is it possible to embed dynamic page number links throughout a document like
the table of contents?

I have a document (the MS Rich Text File Specification version 1.5) where
the table of contents page numbers change as needed when I adjust the
document margins sufficiently to alter the page numbers where sections
and/or sub-sections are located.

There are locations within the document where the following phrase occurs:

"see section {yada yada yada} on page {whatever number}"

The "whatever" page numbers do NOT change when the margins are adjusted.

Can page numbers referenced within a document be automatically adjusted as
needed when the margins are adjusted if somehow a link is associated with a
section or sub-section?
Other than the header, footer, TOC, or Index.
Please advise.
Thanks, Tracey
BTW
I discovered a document map where sections and sub-section headings
correlate with the document.
I don't know if it is directly, indirectly, or un-related to the page
numbering.

What you are referring to is a PAGEREF field. You can insert this field
using Insert | Reference | Cross-reference. If the item you want to refer to
is a heading, numbered item, caption, footnote, endnote, etc., it will be
available automatically. If not, you will need to insert a bookmark in the
location you want to cross-reference and then insert a cross-reference to
the page number of that bookmark. PAGEREF fields do not update automatically
but will update at print time (or on Print Preview) provided you have
"Update fields" checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options.

Note that you can use a cross-reference for your section number as well
(Paragraph number of Heading).

Use the Insert Reference Cross-Reference command, and tell it to display
the page number.

If you're referring to a heading (in a specific style such as Heading 1),
choose Heading in the dropdown on the left, and choose the heading from the
list. If there isn't a heading at the beginning of the section, insert a
bookmark there, and in the cross-reference dialog choose Bookmark in the
dropdown.

After adjusting the margins, you may need to select all (Ctrl+A) and update
the fields (F9) to get the new page numbers.
