Assuming that you are *not* using Word's master document feature (which
tends to corrupt documents), you can do the following:
In the external document, bookmark the item whose page number you want to
reference. Insert a SET field as follows:
{ SET mycrossref { PAGEREF boomarknamehere } }
To insert each pair of field delimiters, { }, press Ctrl+F9. Press F9 to
update selected fields. Use Alt+F9 to show/hide field codes. (Note that the
SET field shows no result in the document.)
In the target document, insert an INCLUDETEXT field:
{ INCLUDETEXT "C:\\folder1\\folder2\\filename.doc" mycrossref \! }
Note that double backslashes should be used in the document path. Also note
the file name extension, which should be *.docx if you are saving in the
Word 2007 file format. Enclose the path and file name in quotation marks.
Update the INCLUDETEXT.
