Default cross reference problems

Does "at the beginning of a cross-referenced paragraph" in your note refer to
the heading (in my case) that I cross reference to?

I've been through my document to check that all the paragraphs with Heading
styles are truly one-line paragraphs. Is there some other way I should be
checking for the source of the problem? Should I be able see problem
paragraphs with all formatting codes revealed? I don't see any unexpected
markings there.

When the problem occurs on printing, it is usually the case that the first
previously normal style paragraph after the referenced heading has now
switched to heading style. But if I check that paragraph just before
printing, it will look like, and be identified as "normal" style. Yesterday
I deleted and re-created an offending cross reference several times. The
first two, the problem re-occured when I tried to print the page. It hasn't
(yet) come back again since the third time I re-created the X-ref.
Thanks!

Make sure not to press Enter (or add text for that matter) at the beginning
of a cross-referenced paragraph; if you do you will add the paragraph mark
(or text) inside the bookmark, which will cause cross-reference trouble.

I'm having similar problems (in Word 2007, using Windows XP). I've
replaced
all the manual page breaks before headings with a "page break before" in
the
heading paragraph definition. But sometimes - usually only triggered by
printing a page - a cross reference set to display just the heading
wording
will bring in the entire section of text that goes with the heading. I've
tried deleting the offending x-ref entirely, double checking the format of
the heading being referred to, and then re-inserting this. But problems
continue to crop up.
