Page Reference Field, Word 2007
PA 11/24/2008 4:07:01 PM
I am trying to use a page reference on page 43, and 51 to a bookmarked item
on page 2. I have done this many time in Word 2003, but can not find the
PageRef field in Word 2007. A bit of direction is required to find it.
Thank you and if I do not get another chance, Happy Thanksgiving to all,
especially the US based MVP's. I for one greatly benefit from your time and
efforts.

If you're comfortable with fields, you can always "roll your own" by just
pressing Ctrl+F9, typing PAGEREF and then the bookmark and required switch,
but I imagine you want a bit more UI than that. <g>

The basic Field dialog is under Quick Parts in the Text group on the Insert
tab, but the familiar Cross-reference dialog is accessed via References |
Captions | Cross-reference.

Easy once you know where.
And I have done a "roll your own" when using a If-Then-Else in mail merge.
I need to insert the field to test.

Yes, unfortunately, mail merge does not make it very easy to use fields (any
kind) nested in an IF field.
