MS-DOS

SUMMARY

To use a paragraph number as a bookmark reference in Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, you can use the following steps if the paragraphs are already numbered:

Word 5.5

1. Select the paragraph you want to reference.
2. From the Insert menu, choose Bookmark (ALT, I, M).
3. Type a name for the bookmark and press ENTER.
4. Position the cursor in your document where you want the cross reference to the paragraph to appear.
5. Type the code para-num: and the bookmark name.
6. Press F3.

Word 5.0

1. Select the paragraph you want to reference.
2. Choose Format Bookmark.
3. Type a name for the bookmark and press ENTER.
4. Move the cursor to where you want the cross reference to the paragraph to appear.
5. Type the code para-num: and the bookmark name.
6. Press F3.

MORE INFORMATION

Word will enclose the code and the bookmark name in parentheses (that is, para-num:paraname). When the document is printed, this code will be replaced with the number of the paragraph the bookmark is in.

The use of an underscore (_) in the para-num: code, instead of the appropriate hyphen (-), returns a 0 (zero) for the paragraph number on the printed page.

Also, make sure that the paragraph is not preceded by a manual page break. The first character of the paragraph must be a number.
