Default Numbered Lists and Automatic Updating

Hi, for years I have wondered how to do this, and have not bothered to try and find out.

I use paragraph numbers when writing reports, and frequently write something to the effect "please see paragraph [x]". The paragraphs will be numbered using the word numbering tool, so the paragraph numbers update as I add or remove paragraphs. But what would be really cool is if I could write "please see paragraph [x]" in the text and the [x] could be automatically updated. As it stands, every time I remove a paragraph I have to read through the report and make sure any references are updated manually (or more likely forget to do that and find out later that I'm sending people to irrelevant paras".

If anyone can help then that would make my life just that bit easier.
