I am trying to create a cross reference in my document's text to Footer
text. What I have are several appendices, which I have labeled Appendix
A, Appendix B, etc in the footers of those pages. In my text, I would
like to refer to these appendices. For example, in my text I would
like to say...

So and so is included in Appendix A.

I would like to cross reference this, so that if I decide to bump so
and so to Appendix B, it will automatically update itself in my text..

I do something similar with my figures and tables, and I love how it
gets automatically updated in the text when I hit F9. Can anyone help
me and show me how to accomplish this with footers???

If you use auto numbering to number your appendixes, you can include the
number in your footer automatically ("Include chapter number") and you can
also insert cross-references to the "Paragraph number" of the heading. See
these articles:
