In a numbered document, I might have:
1.3.1 some text here

Elsewhere in the document, I would like to have:
6.3.4 see 1.3.1
where "1.3.1" is a hyperlink to paragraph 1.3.1.

And if the numbering of paragraph 1.3.1 changes then the text in the
associated hyperlink also changes.

Thanks!

You didn't specify which version, but Word 2003 Help
returns this (the hyperlink is activated by CTRL+click):
You can create a cross-reference only to an item that is in
the same document as the cross-reference. To
cross-reference an item in another document, you need to
first combine the documents into a master document (master
document: A "container" for a set of separate files (or
subdocuments). You can use a master document to set up and
manage a multipart document, such as a book with several
chapters.). The item you cross-reference, such as a heading
or bookmark, must already exist. For example, you must
insert a bookmark before you cross-reference it.

In the document, type the introductory text that begins the
cross-reference.
For example, type For more information, see

On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click
Cross-reference.
In the Reference type box, click the type of item you want
to refer to- for example, a heading.
In the Insert reference to box, click the information you
want inserted in the document- for example, the heading text.
In the For which box, click the specific item you want to
refer to- for example, the heading for Chapter 6.
To allow users to jump to the referenced item, select the
Insert as hyperlink check box.
If the Include above/below check box is available, you can
select this check box to include information about the
relative position of the referenced item.
Click Insert.
