A Cross-reference refers the reader to an object such as a table, a figure, etc. that appears in another location in a document. An example of a cross-reference would be: “For more information, see Table 3.4 on page 48.” Rather than typing in the page number yourself, Word will automatically update the number. Should you add, rearrange or delete pages from your document, the page number will automatically be changed to reflect the new position of the pages in the document. You can create cross-references to headings, figures, bookmarks, captions, numbered paragraphs, tables, and footnotes or endnotes.

- Set the insertion point where you wish to insert the cross-reference code.
- Click the References tab on the Ribbon.
