This is default behavior. To avoid getting more text in the cross-reference
than intended, it is important not to press Enter at the beginning of
bookmarked text (always press Enter at the end of the previous paragraph
instead). Conversely, to ensure that text added at the end gets inside the
bookmark, insert it before the final character.

Hi ?B?U3RldmVQ?=,

Heading cross-refs do not take into account new text added at the
beginning
or end of the heading when refreshed. Presumably this is because the new
text
is not inside the current bookmark and is just being ignored. Surely
this is
a design flaw?

It is quite likely that is the cause, although in my experience (in recent
versions of Word, at least) this hasn't been a problem. (Quite the
reverse,
actually. If I go to the beginning of a heading, press Enter, and type a
new
paragraph, that paragraph shows up in the X-ref.)

I know of no way you can force Word to change where the bookmark stands,
other
then resetting the bookmark manually.
