You usually use cross-references and the Special > Cross-Reference command to direct readers to another location in a document. However, a writer can also exploit cross-references as navigation tools while working within a long document to jump to distant passages or sections in a flash. Just follow these steps:

1. Open the Cross-Reference dialog box by choosing Special > Cross-Reference.

2. Select a paragraph tag, such as Heading1 or Heading2, that denotes a major section in your document. A list of paragraphs formatted with the chosen tag appears.

3. Highlight one and click the Go to Source button, as shown below, to go directly to that section of the document through your cross-reference link. Using cross-references in this way wasn't the intention of the Great Framer, but it works!

The Go to Source button in the Cross-Reference dialog box provides a convenient way to jump around within a long document.
