= SUMMARY =

Word cannot cross-reference a page that doesn’t exist, such as a reference in a five-page document to a sixth page that will be coming from a different program or document. The following is one possible workaround:


 * 1) Create a sixth page in a five-page document by inserting a page break at the end of Page 5.
 * 2) Enter some text on Page 6 that designates the target of the cross-reference.
 * 3) Select the text.
 * 4) Use the Format Bookmark command to designate the text as a bookmark.
 * 5) Go to Page 5 and move the highlight to where the cross-reference to a Page 6 is to appear.
 * 6) Type the code name “page:” followed by the bookmark name.
 * 7) Press the F3 key.
 * 8) From the Print menu, choose Options and change the “range:” field to Pages and the “page numbers:” field to 1:5. When the document is printed, only pages 1-5 will print and the cross-reference that is on Page 5 will reference Page 6.
