Cross referencing without autonumbering
I can use cross referencing where I've got autonumbering switched on for
paragraphs in my Word 2003 documents. However, a colleague prefers not to use autonumbering, but would still like to cross-reference paragraph numbers, and have them update. I can't think of a way to do this, has anyone else managed it? Many thanks IM |

Cross referencing without autonumbering
If you apply a bookmark to any text you can insert a cross-reference to the
content of that bookmark. -- Suzanne S.

Cross referencing without autonumbering
Suzanne
Thanks for your response. I have tried this, but I then the reference keeps stating the bookmarked text rather than the paragraph number. And would this automatically rename the reference if I inserted a new paragraph above the bookmarked one? Regards Phil "Suzanne S.

Cross referencing without autonumbering
You stated: "a colleague prefers not to use autonumbering, but would still
like to cross-reference paragraph numbers." If numbering is being applied manually, then the number can be included in the bookmark (and no, neither the numbered item nor the cross-reference will update automatically). If numbering is not being applied manually, then it is autonumbering. The numbering will be updated with insertions and deletions in the numbered list, and you can use Insert | Reference | Cross-reference to "Numbered item." Such cross-references do update, but not automatically; you have to use F9 (or Print/Print Preview) to update them manually. There is no way to combine manual numbering and automatic updating. -- Suzanne S.

Cross referencing without autonumbering
Thanks again Suzanne.
It was my bad choice of terminology. By "automatic" I mean "non-manual", i.e. the user doesn't have to maintain the references herself. I appreciate that the user would need to use F9.
