Add Automatic Cross-References

When you want readers to be aware of information in other parts of your contract, include the title, the paragraph number, the page number, or all three, so that readers can find the information quickly. Word can automatically add cross-references to many elements in your document: headings with built-in heading styles, numbered headings and paragraphs, footnotes, and figures and tables with captions.

Just type the text for the cross-reference in your document. For example, type See “ and then click Cross-Reference (Insert menu). Type the closing quotation mark, and then type on page if you want to add the page reference.

Add Cross-References to Numbered Paragraphs

You can add cross-references to numbered paragraphs, numbered headings, and even numbered items in a paragraph. In the Cross-Reference dialog box, select Numbered Item from the Reference type list. From the Insert reference to list, select the numbering option that you want.
