Default Will not let me type in "for which" field on inserting cross-r

If you have headings (in the built-in heading styles) in the document, and
you have selected Heading as the reference type, then you should see a list
of headings in the "For which" box. Same with footnotes. Page numbers are
not something you can cross-reference; they are one of the choices of the
result of the cross-reference.

Yes I do have headings, page numbers and footnotes. Not sure what the
problem is, but it won't give me anything to select.

If not, there will be nothing to select. If you don't have any headings,
numbered items, footnotes, endnotes, figures, or tables (the latter
labeled
with captions created with Insert | Reference | Caption), then you are
reduced to Bookmark, which requires that you have previously applied a
bookmark to the text you want to cross-reference.

It will not allow me to select anything in the "for which heading/etc"
list.
There is nothing to select. What am I doing wrong?

After you select "Text," click Insert. If "Insert" is disabled, that's
because you haven't selected anything in the "For which
heading/numbered
item/bookmark/etc." list.

when

What am I missing here?
