In Word, you can use Cross-reference to refer to specific places within the document. Insert captions lets you label objects, figures, tables, equations.

Instead, bookmark and cross-reference those page numbers and let Word update them all as needed. In a future article, I’ll show you a few macros that can update references for you.

You can insert a footnote or endnote in Word from the References tab of the ribbon. Both serve as supplemental information to your document.
