I am working on a document with several chapters, and within each chapter are separate numbered lists. I make reference to some of those numbered items elsewhere in the same document. I frequently have to add items to the numbered lists, changing the numbers originally associated with the items in the list. For example:
1. Load reel with line by . . .
2. Run line through eyelets by . . .
3. Tie hook to line by . . .
4. Attach bait to hook by . . .
"Reference item #1 above prior to departing for fishing trip."
I then add the following items:
1. What fish are you hoping to catch?
2. Select the appropriate line accoding to the fish identified in #1 above . . .
3. Load reel with line by . . . (was item #1; automatically becomes #3)
4. Run line through eyelets by . . . (was item #2; automatically becomes #4)
. . . and so on.
As you probably guessed, my challenge is that "Reference item #1 above prior to departing for fishing trip" stays the same, when I'd like it to cross-reference to item #3 instead. I have tried bookmarking, changing the bulleted list to an outline numbered list (maybe I did them wrong), etc. with no luck.
Is this achievable?
Many thanks!
