Page number links with automatic update

[Mannfred]

I have a text that refers to a previous qoute and would like to know how to
refer to the previous quote by adding a page number that automatically
updates itself.

e.g. look at the qoute on page XX

I would like Word (2003) to insert the pagenumber of the page on which the
qoute is written (into the text where I'm refering back to the qoute) and
since the qoute might switch page have Word to always update the pagenumber.

I have tried to figure it out using the help and this forum, but Word only
adds a link to the pagenumber of the current page and not to the page where
the quote is.
I'm very thankful for all the help I can get.

Sincerely Fredrik Mannberg

Hi Mannfred,

If you bookmark the quote (Insert|Bookmark), then you can add a
cross-reference to it via Insert|Cross Reference|Bookmark and choosing the
page number option.

Cheers

Mannfred,

Add the following macro to the document:

Sub AutoOpen
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
End Sub

It won't update fields in headers, footers, footnotes, etc., but that
shouldn't be a problem for updating cross-references. If you're not sure
how to add the macro, refer to http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

Regards,
Chad
