Word - CROSS REFERENCE

Forgive me for posting this again but I still have not found a
satisfactory solution. Please see if anyone can assist me. I know that
you can use word to insert reference, cross reference but that is not
exactly what I want. What I need is something that will refer to the
sub clause number where the reference is but include the main clause
text

e.g.
Word 2003. I have a document which points to various paragraphs and I
would like to usecrossreferencing as well as the name of the main
paragraph when I refer to it e.g.
SALE OF SHARES AGREEMENT
1   INTERPRETATION
1.1 xxxxxxx
1.2 xxxxxxx
2   PARTIES
2.1  The parties to this agreement are:
2.1.1   xxxx
2.1.2   xxxx

In clause 2.1.2 you want to refer to clause 2.1.1 but insert the main
heading PARTIES so the clause will look as follows:

2.1.2. xxxxx as referred to in clause 2.1.1 [PARTIES]. (meaning the
number of the sub clause togther with the heading (text) of the main
clause not the sub clause text).
The reason that I need a macro is that this should happen
automatically so if they click cross reference, it will allow them to
select the relevant sub clause then the macro should insert the sub
clause number together with the main clause heading.

Thank you to everyone attempting to help me. I am desperate.

The way I am thinking that it might be possible to do this is to use a
userform that contains a series of comboboxes or listboxes each of which is
populated with a cascading arrangement of the different headings in the
document and then display that userform when the user wants to insert such a
cross reference and they would make their selected combination of the
available items and then a reference thereto would be inserted into the
document.

You would need to be doing it a lot to make the development of the utility
worth while.

Hi JJ,

You have not indicated why the solution I suggested is not suitable. it is certainly simple and effective. All it requires is taking
the time to learn how to use Word, rather than taking a brute-force approach to the problem.

I am not sure that I understand you correctly. I know how to use cross
references (well at least I think I know) but because I want to use
the heading of the main paragraph together with the number of a sub
paragraph when cross reference, I have no idea how to do it. If you
say use heading text as the cross reference it inserts the text of the
sub paragraph and not the main paragraph. Perhaps I am
misunderstanding.

To do what you want using Word out-of-the-box, you will need to insert two
cross references, one to the number of the level 3 heading and one to the
text of the heading 1.  Not a particularly difficult task.

I hear what you are saying but how would I automate it. For instance
the client will click Insert, Cross Reference (leave the options under
paragraph number) then click on the relevant paragraph number. They
then have to change the options to paragraph text and click on the
main clause. I would like to write a macro where when they click on
insert cross reference and they choose 1.1 for instance it would
automatically then insert 1.1 then a bracket [then automatically the
heading of the main clase]. Or perhaps I can write an entire new form
to replace the cross reference screen so that the question is asked
which clause do you want to refer to and then the macro will do all
the work.
