I forgot to mention the most important point.
If you had previously forgotten to turn off Track Changes, and have all
these cross-references highlighted as changes, you can easily remove this
effect without having to accept each change.
Simply turn off track changes and do Ctrl-A/F9.
Turn on track changes again after you do this if you like.

I also do technical work and have found that turning off Track Changes does
the trick, and I have documented this in my blog:

I'm interested in trying to lock the fields, and will document my
experiences with that when I get a chance.

Thank you Angel. I will definitely give that try!

Holly,
Sounds like your cross-reference fields are doing their job right by
automatically refreshing. However, you can temporarily fire them!
Select your entire document (CNTRL+A)
Now hit CNTRL+F11. This locks all the fields in your document including
your Table of Contents (beware). To unlock the fields so they can
autoupdate, select the entire document again, and hit CNTRL+SHIFT+F11.

I've
also noticed that if I close my document with the Track Changed toggle
ON,
then when I open it back up, the same thing occurs. It's quite a
nuisance to
have to remember to turn it off before closing and printing. If I

that
Word automatically generated. I work with technical documents and
some of
them are rather large.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
