Hi,

Let's say I am writing a procedure in the form of a multilevel list.



1.
1.2
2.
2.1 and so on.

If I want to repeat a part of the list, like, "If the value is not within .001", repeat 2.3.1 through 2.3.6.

If I do some editing within 2.3.1 and 2.3.6, say I added another level after 2.3.2, then my reference above is no longer correct.

Is there a way of linking a level number to references to it so that if the level number changes, the reference to it changes as well?

Otherwise I have to go searching for the references and correct them.

Does that make sense at all? ;o)

Click References tab | Cross-reference. Select "Numbered item" for "Reference type," and select "Paragraph number" for "Insert reference to." Click the number that you want to reference, and click OK.

Note that cross-references, like most fields, do not update automatically. You can update all fields in the selection by pressing F9, or you can trigger an update of cross-reference fields, as well as some other types of fields, by switching to Print Preview (Ctrl+F2) and then back to your previous view (ESC).
