Can you create a cross reference manually?

Yes, insert a bookmark at the point you want to refer to, and insert a REF
field containing the bookmark's name at the point where you want the
reference.

The cross-reference feature on the Insert menu simply automates that process
by letting you identify a reference point and inserting a hidden bookmark
there. If you right-click one of these cross references and select Toggle
Field Code, you'll see the bookmark name, something like _Ref123456; and if
you check the "Hidden bookmarks" box in the Insert Bookmark dialog, you
can see the same bookmark name.

If you want your manual cross reference to use the page number instead of
the text of the item, use a PAGEREF field instead of a REF field. There are
also switches you can use in the field code to get other information about
the reference point -- look up "REF field code" in the Help.
