Cross-referencing does exactly what you want and will stay linked if
numbering changes due to new-section-insert or section-move.
Look under References group, Caption group, Cross reference command.
So long as you have used a Style for the section Heading, such as Heading 1,
these will be listed under Numered Item. Select the section you want to
reference, change the "Insert Reference to:" to what you want (Pragraph
number returns the section number), if you want number and text you need to
do both Paragraph number and Paragraph text. This will not return "Section"
unless you have added "Section" to the numbering format of the style.
Look in the Help for "Create a cross-reference" this has usefull instructions.
Beware, if a section title is deleted, the cross-reference remains and turns
into the "Error, reference cannot be found!" marker.

When you move, add new sections the numbers of existing cross-references do
not automatically refesh, to do this, Ctrl+A to select the whole document, F9
to refresh all fields, links, etc.

Hope this helps

Is it possible to do something like this...let's say I have a paragraph in a
document similar to this:

"No other provisions of this agreement, except Section 2 (Some Title),
Section 12 (Some Other Title), Section 14 (Yet Another Title), shall apply
to Some Important Thing."

Now, each of these sections is obviously numbered, as you can see, but the
numbering will change, and as a result the above paragraph must be manually
changed. So is there a way, instead, to link the numbers above to their
correspondingly numbered sections elsewhere in the document, so when the
bullet numbers change, this paragraph will change as well?

Thanks!

P.S. Word 2007, in case that matters.
