Learn Legal: Using Paragraph "Full Context" To Get The Entire Cross Reference

This short article will simply answer a common problem that people go through when first dealing with Cross References. Time and again I see the following: "See Section 2.3(c)(ii) where the Field Code for the Cross Reference only represents the 2.3 portion but not the (c)(iii) portion." 1. If I am to follow that Cross Reference (Control Click) as is, it would take me to paragraph 2.3 but not the actual piece of text that the author of the document wanted to direct me (the reader) over to which is paragraph (ii) under 2.3(c). 2. So what are they missing? When marking the Cross Reference in our above example 2.3(c)(ii) in your Cross Reference Dialogue Box, you want to choose Paragraph Number (Full Context) under the "Insert Reference To" Heading and then in the listing of active Multilevel paragraphs, go to Section 2.3(c)(ii) and select the "(ii)" portion. 3. When the Cross Reference comes in, the entire 2.3(c)(ii) will now be part of the Cross Reference Field Code and if clicked upon (Control Click), will take me to the actual intended reference (paragraph (ii)), not the top portion of the hierarchy Section 2.3. 4. This should clear up a common error that stands out and reflects your current knowledge. Now you know. Training From An Inside Perspective www.advanceto.com
