Cross references to numbered list not updated when reference #1
I have Cross-References to Numbered items (showing Paragrph number). The
lnumbered list goes from number 1 to number 8. Therefore, cross references show number 1 to 8. If I add a line in the numbered list between, let's say, #5 and #6, the cross references number 6 becomes 7 and so on after the fields are updated, perfect. Now, If I add a line to the list before the number 1, so the number 1 becomes number 2 and the new line becomes the number 1, when I update the fields, all cross ref are updated but the number 1 is not updated ? Logicaly the corss ref number 1 should show 2. Is this a bug ? Does it make sens ? |

Not exactly a bug, but a common problem resulting from the way Word treats
bookmarks. You probably added "a line" (that is, a new numbered paragraph) by pressing enter at the beginning of list item 1. This put your new #1 inside the bookmark that had been applied to the old #1 when you inserted the cross-reference. To avoid this, instead of pressing Enter at the beginning of #1, press Enter at the end of the preceding paragraph, then apply the numbered style to the new paragraph. -- Suzanne S.
