problem w/ cross referencing in word 97

[smartbadge]

Hi there,


I am writing a document in MS WORD '97. It is about 50 pages long. I
want to use cross references to headings.


For example I want something like:
"For more Details, refer to Section 1.2"


I want the "1.2" to be the cross reference. However when I go to
insert the cross reference and specify the heading number to which the
cross reference refers, the number given is always "0" instead of the
"1.2".

What must I do to avoid this?

Any help would be great.

Is your heading numbered through word, or has the "1.2" at the start of
the heading been typed manually ...?

Robert,

the heading been typed manually ...?

I believe that I have been numbering the headings manually. I'll try
to get the headers numbered automatically by Word.

I just tried this on a simple test document in Word and the cross
referencing works!

Thank You!
