Default Cross-Reference Dialog Box No Longer Works Right

I *am* using the built-in heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2 ...).

If you use the built-in heading styles for your numbered headings, you can
still see them listed as headings even with Hidden paragraph marks (whether
or not Hidden text is displayed).

This is a change in Word 2007 from previous versions, and it's starting to
drive me crazy.

I often insert a cross reference to a "numbered item" - normally a
heading.
You can do with keystroke shortcuts or by clicing "Cross-reference" in the
"References" toolbar.

The problem is with the little dialog box that pops up at this point. Its
main window shows, in outline form, all the headings in the document, and
I
then pick the one to which I want to insert a reference.

Except ... it doesn't. The main window in the dialog box OMITS all the
headings that are followed by a hidden carriage return (or paragraph mark,
I
guess to be more accurate). Since hiding the paragraph mark is the
standard
way to create a heading that runs together with the text (really ... it
is:
it's even documented that you're supposed to do it that way, or at least
it
was when I learned how to do it). So ... more often than not, I've got to
navigate to the heading, reformat the paragraph mark to unhide it, go back
to
where the reference goes, insert the reference, navigate back to the
heading,
reformat the paragraph mark to hide it again, then navigate back to where
I
was working in the document.

This is a new problem in Word 2007.
