The process to create cross-references between subdocuments is
tedious, but it works.
Preparing items as targets for cross-referencing
Before you can insert a cross-reference to anything that is not
automatically shown on the References tab, such as a heading, you
must prepare or “set” that heading as an item to be referenced. To do
this, you can either use bookmarks or set references.
When you set references, be sure to select the entire text you want to
use as the reference, such as a heading or figure number. Keep a list of
what you have named the reference fields, and be sure every name is
unique. One way to keep track of this information is by putting it in a
separate text file or a spreadsheet.
The field names are case-sensitive. You can check the field name by
holding the cursor over the referenced item. In our example (Figure
368), the heading has the field name word count .

Using bookmarks
Bookmarks are listed in the Navigator and can be accessed directly
from there with a single mouse click. In HTML documents, bookmarks
are converted to anchors that you can jump to via hyperlink.
1) Select the text you want to bookmark. Click Insert > Bookmark.
2) On the Insert Bookmark dialog box (Figure 369), the larger box
lists any previously defined bookmarks. Type a name for this
bookmark in the top box. Click OK.
