Thread: Creating and referencing fields

Hi,

try this:

Highlight the text on the title page that you would like to reference to
Click Insert - Bookmark and give that reference a name
Now you can insert a reference to this bookmark anywhere in the document, including a footer.
Where you want the reference to appear, click Insert - Reference - Cross reference,

Reference type = Bookmark
Insert reference to = Reference text

Like this, you can create a bookmark on the table of contents and reference to that bookmark in the footer (but why would you not simply type something like "see Table of contents"? Will the location change?)

Or you can create a custom document property (I use this for customer names, program names, etc. in proposals) and then insert fields that reference the property. The method differs between Word 2003 and 2007, and I don't know which you're using, so ...

Create a custom document property:

• Office button > Prepare > Properties
• In the dialog that appears click the Document Properties drop-down, select Advanced Properties, then select the Custom tab
• In the Name box, enter a property name (I preface mine with a 0 so they appear at the top of the Properties list described below), select the Type from the drop-down, then enter a Value, then click Add
• Repeat for additional properties

To insert a doc property:

• Insert > Quick Parts > Field
• In the Field Names box, select DocProperty
• In the Property box, select the property
