Fellow Forum Members,
I have a 600 page manual done in Word 2007 with paragraph references that look like this: "blah blah, refer to Paragraph 5.4.3 "

The original creator of this book manually typed in the text, "Paragraph 5.4.3" all throughout the body of the manual and did not bother using the Insert -> Cross References.

My objective is to convert all 40 instances of the text, "Paragraph 5.4.3" to Cross References Fields using the Find/Replace Tool. Is this possible? If yes, how do I tell WORD to find each instance of the text, "Paragraph 5.4.3" and then replace it with a Cross Reference Field containing the special code needed that points it to a tagged Heading 3 paragraph with the number prefix of 5.4.3?

The alternative is to manually setup using each cross reference which is something I would like to avoid.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
