Word page breaks and cross-referencing problems-PLEASE HELP

G

Guest

If I use an auto numbered style at the top of a page, before a manual page
break, and then cross-reference to that numbered paragraph later in the
document, when I update cross-references, the cross-reference to the numbered
paragraph that directly follows the page break either gives the
Error-reference not found or becomes 0.

I understand why this happens, but want a solution so that I am able to use
the cross reference to numbered paragraphs feature when a numbered paragraph
follows a page break.

Instead of inserting a manual page break, format your style (or specific
paragraph) as "Page break before" (Line and Page Breaks tab of Format |
Paragraph).

Instead of the manual page break, apply "Page break before" paragraph
formatting to the numbered paragraph.
