I have a word document which has 5 Exhibits and related cross-references in different paragraphs. I want to copy entire content to another word document at the end, which already has 10 Exhibits.

After pasting the content from first document, i have selected entire text and pressed Alt F9 to update the fields. Exhibit numbers got updated and came in sequence i.e. Exhibit 11, Exhibit 12, and so on... but reference numbers remained same (i.e. Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2, so on..) and it automatically got linked to the above Exhibit 1 which was already there in the document.

Is there a way that after pasting the Exhibits and related cross-references from one file to another comes in a proper numbering sequence.

I am able to get the Exhibit sequence numbers properly (e.g. Exhibit 11, Exhibit 12..) after updating the field but cross-references are not getting updated and showing same numbers (i.e. Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2,... in the paragraph text) ideally it should show Exhibit 11, Exhibit 12... since it was linked to those exhibits.

Please help.
