Its amazing. I thought this was a simple matter. But it is interesting.
Now I have these options to choose from

I'm trying to figure out exactly what you want. Is it something along the
lines of (e.g.) on page 16, you would like to say "see footnote # on
page
#"

and have that reference automatically adjust if footnote numbering and/or
page text changes the page number that footnote falls on?

If I am understanding you correctly, then I believe it IS possible to do
what you want, using cross-reference features.

I'm using Word 2003 here.

On (e.g.) page 16, you insert the text "see footnote # on page #",
replacing the #'s with cross-references - the first one to the footnote
number, and the second one to the page the footnote appears on.

I haven't tested this fully, but you MIGHT need to put a named field into
your footnote text and then reference that code instead of the page
number,
which SHOULD cover the situation where another footnote has been inserted
before the footnote you wish to reference, otherwise the updated field
would reference the right footnote number, but the wrong page.

Assuming no changes to the document that would alter the positioning of
this footnote, you can use a footnote cross-reference for the first # and
the page number cross-reference for the 2nd #.

HTH,



Tom
