TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Use the Field codes. (Use the Force, Luke!)
Example {STYLEREF 1 \s} - {SEQ Example \* ARABIC \s 1 } Procedure example
will, if this is the 7th example in Chapter 5, give you:
Example 5-7 Procedure example
You can also set up "Example" as a cross-reference and then insert (from the
list of Example cross-references) "Example 5-7" as a hyperlink. This process
is described quite adequately in Word Help - that's where I found out how to
do it.
When you insert new examples all the field codes and the hyperlinks will
change automatically. (Unless something has gone wrong with Word's
autonumbering, of course, as sometimes happens.... frequently.)
For further queries on Word, I suggest the Word-pc list:
