insert article numbers

hi,

i am working on a contract. i am using auto numbering for the article numbers.

i am referring sometimes to some contract items with the article number and the title of it.

What I want to do is, if any change in the article number by deleting or inserting articles in the contract, i want these referred articles change as well.

I guess, Only way i can do is by Adding Field but I can not refer to the article item i want.

I can make an example and post if my question is not clear.

thanks for the help.

On the References tab, in the Captions group, choose Cross-reference.
In the Cross-reference dialog, select "Numbered item" as the "Reference type."
For "Insert reference to," select "Paragraph number." If the word "Article" is part of the numbering and you want to include it in your cross-reference, then select "Paragraph number (full context)."
In the list, select the appropriate article.
Click Insert.

By default, the cross-reference will be inserted as a hyperlink. If users may be reading the document online, this will be helpful. Even if the document will be used only in printed form, it does no harm, as the hyperlink does not have the Hyperlink character style and consequently looks like an ordinary number.
