You could follow Stefan's second suggestion and use a caption label:
"If you need to do this frequently, you may want to define a caption label
named 'Exercise' and then insert your Exercise captions whenever you need
numbered excercises. The label will then be listed as a 'Reference type' in
the Cross-reference dialog box, and you don't have to manually create any
bookmarks (Word creates hidden bookmarks for you)."

Thanks Stefan.
The only issue I see with this approach is that I need to name each of my
Bookmarks, and if I name them as 'Exercise 1' etc etc, what will then
happen
is that if I insert additional exercises, the SEQ function will increase
the
exercise number ( which is what I want ), so Exercise 3 will then become
Exercise 4, but the bookmark to exercise 4 will still be called Exercise
3.
Any ideas ?

switching to Print Preview and back (you can use Ctrl+F2 as a toggle).

Hi,
I am trying to build a document ( Training Guide ) that has an
Appendix at
the end of the document that contains a list of 'Exercises' for people
to
do
as part of their training. I have done this successfully by inserting
a
SEQ
field. ie.
Exercise 1
Please do bla bla bla
Exercise 2
Please do xyz etc etc
The word Exercise is typed, but the numbers are the SEQ fields. That
way,
when I insert / delete exercises, the remaining exercises re-number
themselves automatically which is what I want.
The second part of what I want to do is to create some form of cross
reference / hyperlink in the main part of the document to direct the
user
to
the relevant Exercise # and for this cross reference / hyperlink to be
automatically updated if the Exercise # changes in the Appendix.
I tried using heading styles and numbers, but wasnt getting very far.
Does
anyone have any suggestions for me as to the best way to do this ?
Many Thanks
Glen
