I'm trying to figure out how to do cross-referencing in Word (4.0).  By
this I mean that I'd like to be able to say, in the body of section xx
for example, "the following, as demonstrated in section yy", so that if
I move section yy the reference in the line above will be updated too.

Ideally there would be a way to create variables such as 'yy = $CurrSection'
and then you go on and refer to yy.  By section I mean whatever numbers
the 'Number...' command adds to headings.

This is fairly crucial for writing theses...  Has anyone out there come
up against this problem and found some clever way to solve it?  Please
drop me a note in my electronic mail box.  I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,

Guido...
