What does cross-reference do?

A cross-reference allows you to link to other parts of the same document. For example, you might use a cross-reference to link to a chart or graphic that appears elsewhere in the document. The cross-reference appears as a link that takes the reader to the referenced item.

What is cross-reference in law?

Cross-references are citations from one portion of a legal text to another portion of that text or to another text. The referencing text is the legal text that contains the cross- reference and the referenced text is the legal text that is cited.
