Auto update references to sections in text

D

How do I link numbered section headings to references to the paragraph
number in text of a document so that if the number changes, it changes
throughout the document? In other words, if I have a 70 page document
with legal numbered sections and paragraphs, if I delete, say section
2.1 and 2.2 is now 2.1, if I want each reference to 2.2 in the text of
the document to change to 2.1, how do I accomplish that?

Thanks!

Cross-references don't update automatically. They should update when you
print or switch to Print Preview, or you can update manually with Ctrl+A,
F9.
