Internal links to list items (as in Microsoft Word)

Question

Hello, all!
I am a switcher to Mac. Would be grateful if you could ease my switching
Mic. Word has a great function for lawyers I always used: I make a document with multilevel numbers like:
1.
1.1.
1.1.1.
1.1.2.
1.2.
2.
2.1
etc.
This one is available in iPages as well.
Then in my text I want to allude to one of the paragraphs, eg: ...under par. 1.2...
In Word I used special links. THen if I added new paragraphs, those links in the text would renew automatically. Say, I decided to add a par. after 1.1, so that ex. 1.2 became 1.3. Then the link in the text would become 1.3 instead 1.2 automatically.
Please, say that iPages does have the same function...
The way to make each par. as a bookmark manually is not acceptable, as is clear.

Thanks Yvan!
I tried it. I should say it's very similar to word and is really worth of ... don't know... itself
It does have multi level numbered lists and does have cross references, which is great. But I encounted some problems.
1) it does not see references made in Word at all (but does see lists correctly). And Pages sees references and lists but just can't work with them (update for eg.).
2) vice versa - if I save new doc in NeoOffice in doc format, then Word can't update references made by NeoOffice, although Word sees them...
So... I don't know. Maybe the best way would be to work in Word through CrossOver.
