Practice Tip: Using Cross-references In Word
Cross-references are a feature in Microsoft Word that allows you to create references to other items in the same document. This is particularly helpful with longer, more complex documents, the likes of which are often encountered in the legal document-production process. When you click on a cross-reference in Word, you are automatically brought to the location of the referenced item. Such examples as “For details, see Table 6.” or “… as is illustrated on Page 23.” are common examples of the usage of cross-references.
If you simply type out the numbers for the table and page references in your document, then you will have to manually update each and every one of those numbers whenever you make a change to the document that affects either the number of tables or the pagination. Cross-references help insure that as the document is modified, these references are dynamically updated.
