MS Word Update section number

Hi Experts,

In a word document, I need to mention some of the sections (paragraph)  in my document as follows
 
" The procedure in sections 2.2 ,2.3 and 2.4 are explained"      

  Can I  maintain a  way ( similar to how the  table of contents is updated) by which I don't have to manually edit this , if later the sections are edited and the number changes (For example, a new section comes before and 2.2 becomes 2.3 and all shifts from there)

 Thanks
Microsoft Word

Hi,

You will need to applied the required styles from Heading 1....Heading 2 or Heading 3 to the sections. To insert this into TOC with built-in templates which you can update entrie table with right-click if you insert any section in between.

Please find attached example document file.

Thanks,

Hi,

    It is not about the table of contents my question is .   It is about how to mention a section in the content ( as in the attachment)

Well of course you can specify your content arrangement and it will be set automatically on the others that are coming next.
Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.
