Cross-references in a Master Document

From NeoWiki

Description of the Problem

Lets say that a sub-document (an inserted document) of a master document must contain a cross-reference to an element in another sub-document in the same master document. In the case, it is not possible to use the Fields window to define and insert the refrence in the "traditional" manner.

More Concretely...

Let's say that the master document contains a sub-document that details the contents of other documents. Sort of like a table of contents, but more detailed.

In this sub-document, we want the page numbers to appear, similar to a table of contents. For example, we might have the phrase "I discuss the relationship between dolphins and seals below (page X)." This "X" must correspond to a page in another sub-document of the master document (it does not matter if the other sub-document is above or below the current one). Because the document is in the process of being written, I do not know what page will be the first page of my chapter on the relationship between dophins and seals. If there is only one reference in my document, I could keep it up to date manually, then I would be treating my computer like a typewriter.

In this case, it is best to use a reference I call a global reference. Thanks to this reference, the page number will be updated with each change to the page.
