Cross-reference function to update bullet header and number simultaneously

[dljenks]

Hi,



I am trying to reference a numbered bullet in my document that can change from revision to revision. I've used the cross-reference function. However, when I change the bullet number (because I add more sections to the bulleted section) and update the field, there is no change because the cross-reference function does not allow association between the bullet number and header.

For example, this is the original layout, where "...Section {1}." is the cross-referenced field associated with "1. My section X":

I want to cross reference Section {1}.
   
  1.     My section X
  2.     My section Y
  3.     My section Z

When Section X changes from placeholder 1 to placeholder 2, for example:

  1.     My new section
  2.     My section X
  3.     My section Y
  4.     My section Z

I would hope to see {1} change to {2} because now Section X is in place 2.

I want to cross reference Section 2.
   
  1.     My new section
  2.     My section X
  3.     My section Y
  4.     My section Z

Instead I see this:

I want to cross reference Section 1.   

  1.     My new section
  2.     My section X
  3.     My section Y
  4.     My section Z

Is there anyway to associate both the bullet number AND title so that updates to the bullet number will change the number in the cross reference in the text to the new, correct bullet number?

P.S. I do not want the title of the bullet displayed in the text reference above it.

Thanks in advance.
