Pagination is dynamic - that is, it depends on the page setup, printer chosen and content already in the document before it can be determined. This makes your request difficult to answer simply.

In addition, there would be numerous special cases that would need to be addressed. Eg. What happens when the page starts with a Heading 1, 2 or 3. What happens when a table continues across a pagebreak? If you broke the table to insert this continued paragraph then the table headings won't repeat.

I envision that a macro could be created to roll through the document and create the required cross-reference paragraphs. I would recommend a crossref field since you can add a switch which assembles the full heading number context (ie returns the 6.1.2.B even though the heading itself only says B). The cross ref field requires that you identify the nearest preceding heading and bookmark it.

You would probably need to include the ability to strip out these entries since you would need to rerun the macro every time the document was edited or opened on another machine.
