Referencing Page numbers as variables?.

Hello,
   
I need to set up a word document (using version 5.1) so that I can do the
following.

I wish to be able to say in the body of the text something like 'see
figure 4 on page 7'.

If I merely look up the page number of the figure and refer to it
explicitly, every time the document changes and repaginates I will have to
go through and change all the page references (there will be lots).

Is there a way to identify (maybe as a variable) a given page number which
updates as the document changes and insert this variable at some other
place in the document, to be substituted for by the correct value, either
after repagination (ideally) or at print time.

Many thanks for any info,

I prefer email replies.

Regrads,

Rolf.
