Corss Reference a word or phrase

G

Guest

I would like to reference a word or phrase or even the contents of a cell of
a table throughout a document. The word might be a name, a number, a phrase
and it might appear in a paragraph or in a table or even standing alone.

How can I cross-reference it without including all of the text of the
paragraph or the table cell? Thus the document might have Exabyte Solutions
in the body of a paragraph, and throughout the document it would allow me to
cross-reference [Exabyte Solutions]. It might also be a title to a document
or a report.

Make any sense? I see it almost works with cross-reference, but I can't
select specific text.

Have you bookmarked the word or phrase you want to cross-reference?

YOU ARE A GENIUS! THANK YOU. I had NOT bookmarked it, and when I did and
did the cross-reference, it worked perfectly. Thank you so much, I truly
appreciate it.

Did I mention that you're a genius?

<blush> Hardly. I've just been using Word a while and reading these NGs for
almost as long.
