I’ve been going through my thesis and checking all my chapter and sub-section references so they point to the right section after edits. A friend (thanks Bruce!) just pointed out that there’s a feature in Word that – if I had known about it – would have saved me the trouble.
“If you did your section and chapter headings with a suitable heading style, and put in the references with insert cross-reference -> numbered item, it should indeed renumber them automatically.”
I can’t believe I have been using Word for over 20 years (!) and never discovered that feature. I am also a little put out that nobody told me about it. So I hope this helps someone else (though I fear it may be a little late for me).
Wow, I’m glad yo read you’re at this point with your work. I’ll look forward to the news that you’ve submitted.

Um really, only now?
You do know about Outlining mode, too, right?
