auto adust numbering help

Copper Contributor

I have a numbered list of names. The names correspond to notes in my document and each note is numbered  and corresponds to the list. I want to know how to have the number in the list update in the notes. For example, lets suppose between number 9 and 10, I insert a new name. The new name becomes 10 and the name formerly at 10 now becomes 11. However,  in my notes number 10 doesn't update. How can I do this. Or perhaps there is a more efficent way.

@Don9of11 For the number in the Notes in the document, you could use a cross reference to the number assigned to each name.  If that is done, when you update the fields in the document, the cross references will be updated to reflect the changes in the list of names.  The numbering of the list of names would need to make use of Word's numbering facility so that the numbers would be available for cross referencing.
