Headings Ignored For cross Reference Selection
bg425gkAnother example of unhelpful help, I'm afraid.
See Why Use Word's Built-In Heading Styles? by Shauna Kelly.
If you do not want to use a Built-In heading, you can bookmark your custom headings and cross-reference to the bookmarks.

The links I've given you were all written for earlier versions of Word but the information in them is valid in Word 2021 and 2019 as well.

Charles_KenyonThe bookmark worked. I highlighted the destination text, selected "bookmark" under the INSERT tab, and then gave the bookmark a name. I then went back and highlighted the text I wanted to use to launch a link to the bookmark and right-clicked and selected "Link". I selected the "Place in this document" option and then picked the bookmark from the listing and hit the OK button.
You are correct, the help isn't helpful when the Use Headings example it shows doesn't actually work!
Thanks for giving me the correct direction to go in with the bookmark and thanks for the Shauna Kelly links too, those are very helpful.
- You are welcome.
