Hi All,
I'm writing a legal document and would like to write something like this. As stated in section 12.1 bla bla bla Problem is that the sections keep getting re-aranged. So 12.1 becomes 12.2 and then I need to go back and manually replace 12.1 with 12.2. Is the some way to get word to dynamically update type of change? Thanks Warrick |

Getting an existing document setup takes a little work, but it is worth
it. Select the entire document and choose Format | Bullets and Numbering. Then choose the numbering style. Word will automatically number all of the paragraphs. You will probably need to remove your existing number (unless it is already set-up for automatic numbering). Then go where you want to insert a page reference and choose Insert | Reference | Cross Reference (the wording might be different depending on your version of Word--this is for Word 2003). Word will automatically insert the reference to that item (e.g., 12.1). Before you print, select everything (Ctrl+A), press F9, and Word will update all the references (e.g., change the 12.1 to 12.2). You may want to read Word's help on this topic--it is a powerful feature (e.g., you have have it insert the paragraph number, as you requested, but also the page number, the heading text, etc.).

Insert | Reference | Cross-reference to "Paragraph number" of "Numbered
item." But cross-references don't update automatically; you need to trigger an update with F9 or by printing. -- Suzanne S.
