Example:

Let's say I want the reader to see information on 'Tires' page 14. I might say "See 'Tires' on page 14", and if the reader goes to page 14 - sure enough, the section on 'Tires" is there; however, next revision, editing moves the 'Tires" sectrion to page 15. I'd want the "See 'Tires' on page 14" change to "See 'Tires' on page 15"

Any way to make that happen?

Thanks!
Yes. This is called a cross-reference. You can find the controls under the References tab.

Assuming that Tires is in a Heading style, you can refer directly to it. You can insert the text. You can insert the page number.
