Default Is there a way to move a cross referenced source, and still work?

Hello.

I am using word 2007. I have a sizable document, that has a references
section that lists all of the references for the document.

At various places in the document I have cross-references to the items in my
reference list (i.e. see ref[7], etc.)

My problem is, I don't like where my Reference section is located in the
document. Its currently section 16, and I want to move it be section 18.
However, whenever I move the text, it breaks all of the existing cross
references.

Where by breaking, I mean, after updating all references:
1. The cross references to the moved section change from their original
value to '1.'
2. The cross references to the moved section all point to the old page,
where the 'Reference' section USE to be.

I have tried the following to move my "Refererences" section:
1. I have cut and pasted it from page 38 to 53.
2. I have tried selecting the section on page 38 and dragging and dropping
to page 53.

In both cases, the cross references in the document are now broken.
