In Word, you can use Cross-reference to refer to specific places within the document. Insert captions lets you label objects, figures, tables, equations.

Use \i to italicize the entry. Use \t to add a cross-reference. Use \r to reference a bookmark (which we didn’t cover in this article). You can use this flag to create a page range.

Instead, bookmark and cross-reference those page numbers and let Word update them all as needed. In a future article, I’ll show you a few macros that can update references for you.

If you're looking for how to insert a tick symbol (otherwise known as a check mark or checkmark) into Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, you've come to the right place.
