Document cross-reference

[Guest]

I have to make a cross reference from one word document to another. The word help states that this cannot be done unless you have a master document. Does anybody know of an add-on that will allow me to do this? I ready don’t want to maintain something like that by hand

Example of what I want to do
According to paragraph 3.4.5 in some_document.doc ...
Where the paragraph number must be maintained somehow as long as I don’t have to do it by hand

Thanks

You can "Paste link" text from one document to another, but you have to make
sure the file and folder paths remain constant. The best way to do this is
to have each document in the same folder before you do any "linking". For
example, highlight what you want to like (like "3.4.5"), press CTRL-C to
copy, open your other document, click the "Edit" menu, select "Paste
Special", click the "Paste link" option and select "Unformatted text". That
paragraph number is now a link to your first document.

Not the cleanest, but it works. This can also be done with VBA, if you
don't mind learning to program!

Hope this helps!

In Word, cross-references between files are called hyperlinks.
(Cross-references are internal to a document, or the sub-documents of a
master document).

Go to Insert > Hyperlink: Click Browse for File. Select your target
document.
