Is there a way to cross-reference text within a note?
For example, I have a document with a graphic that has a note next to it. The graphic takes up almost the entire page, and is intended to be read in landscape mode so I added a text box to rotated it so the text reads vertically. I want to reference this text in the document, but no matter what heading style I apply it does not appear in the "cross reference" list.

I have been using bookmarks to create secondary Table of Contents in my document. So when I follow these steps, MSW10 only allows me to add to the bookmark I am within for the secondary TOC, it won't let me add another. Is there a work around?

Got a version of Word that uses the menu interface (Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, or Word 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
