Is it possible to create a cross reference link from document A to some
heading in document B ?

Not really sure, but I've not seen it done.

What about a Hyperlink? You can link to the doc, itself, or to a Bookmarked
location in it.

Hi ps87,

If you bookmark the text in your source document, you can use an INCLUDETEXT
field in the target document to replicate it.

If you just want to cross-reference the location of the text in your source
document, you'll need to set up the cross-reference in the source document
first, bookmark the cross-reference, then proceed with the INCLUDETEXT field
in the target document. If you don't actually want the cross-reference to
appear in the source document, select the inserted cross-reference, press
Ctrl-F9 to enclose it in a field, then type "SET XRefBkMrk " (without the
quotes) inside the left field brace and press F9 to update. In this case,
'XRefBkMrk' becomes the bookmark name you'll use in the target document's
INCLUDETEXT field.

Cheers

Hi Macropod,

Let's try with a specific example. Let's say I have Doc1 and Doc2

Doc1.doc
1.2 Heading1
1.3 Heading2

Doc2.doc
I want to reference section 1.2 of Doc1.doc here. How do I do that using
includetext ?

Can I also reference some text across documents or can I also reference
fields like page #, section headings, table #, etc ? Thanks.

Hi ps87,

The INCLUDETEXT field and it's syntax is described in Word's help file.

You can also get a start by copying a range from your source document and
pasting it into the target document as a link. If you then select the pasted
material and press Shift-F9, Word will show how the field was coded.

If you're having trouble after reading up and trying it out, post back.

Cheers

More help with IncludeText he
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...textfields.htm

Cross-references inside IncludeText are a bit buggy in recent versions,
though.
