BAM Frustration! - 27 Mar 2008 05:11 GMT
Hi everyone

Here is my situation: I want to define a spot in a word document tha
will not show up as an element on the page, but which I will be able t
refer back to, specifically by referencing its page number. It would b
like using the name attribute of the a tag in HTML in order to link t
a specific spot on a web page

Here is an example (~~~ means a page boundary)

TITL

Writing yadda yadda

~~

This is the second page [INVISIBLE ELEMENT 1

~~

To read about the second page turn to page [INVISIBLE ELEMENT 1'S PAG
NUMBER

I could do this by hand, but I want something that will updat
automatically if the element gets pushed off of the original page it
on

So what's the best way to attack this? All help is much appreciated

EDIT: I'm using Office 2004 on Mac OS X

You want to set up a Bookmark (Insert > Bookmark off the Menu) and a
Reference Field (Insert > Reference > Cross-reference off the Menu). Fellow
MVP Greg Maxey has a web page describing how to do this but I don't have the
url to hand - I'm sure your favourite search engine can find it.

Enjoy,

Define a bookmark at the desired location and then use a cross-reference
to the bookmark's page number.
