Gilda,
When I cross-reference something that could end up on the same page, I
sometimes say
For more information on whatever, see "Heading of Info" in the following

or
...see the following section, "Heading of Info."
Sometimes you can direct them to figures as well. We have a lot of
figures, so if the x-referenced figure is within a couple of pages, I
don't include the page number.
