Re: Cross-document links in Word?
{ INCLUDETEXT "FileName" [Bookmark ] [Switches ] }
Inserts the text and graphics contained in the named document. You can
insert the entire document, or, if it's a Word document, you can insert only
the portion referred to by a bookmark.
To my way of thinking, a cross-reference isn't an insertion of a bunch of text at another location, but a reference *to* the text at that locations, the difference being whether you want to include the complete instructions for adding a printer, for example, or just tell the reader to "see 'Adding a printer' on page 205."
To create the latter (which is what I think of as a cross-reference), you want to put a bookmark around the text of the "Adding a printer" heading, then insert two REF fields that use it as the target--one REF field for the text and one for the page number. Those are both REF fields, with different switches.
I haven't used REF fields to refer to bookmarks in other documents.
