Why do cross references change when I print?
They're fields, and by default fields are updated when you print.

Why do cross references change when I print?
Suzanne, is there a way to turn off that default setting? I posted to the
group on this same item yesterday, because my numbered paragraph cross-references are dorrect when I save the file, but as soon as I click to print the document, the cross-references change, where what should be paragraph 4.8 becomes 1.8, and paragraph 15.6 becomes 12.6. What am I doing wrong???? Thanks.... (if you can solve this, I owe you a Mexican lunch at the restaurant of your choice!!) Cyndie Browning Tulsa, OK "Suzanne S.

You can clear the "Update fields" box on the Print tab of Tools | Options,
but some fields are updated when you print regardless (these include page numbers and all fields in the header and footer; see €śWD97: Fields Updated When Document Repaginated€ť at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=89953). -- Suzanne S.

Alas, that's not the answer I was looking for. The cross-references are all correct UNTIL I print the document. Also, everytime I open the document, I have to update all the cross-references. And here's the thing: I clicked on the pizza button, Word Options, Display, and under "Printing Options," I turned ON the "Update fields before printing" option. Now the document prints out just fine with the fields all showing what they're supposed to. Go figure!! Anyway, thanks for your help. Cyndie Browning Tulsa, OK "Suzanne S.

them wrong and updating again makes them right! -- Suzanne S.

Yeah, tell me about it!! (Hey, y'know, Microsoft made it so it doesn't have
to make sense.... like the bumper sticker that says, "there's no reason for it; it's just our policy.") Okay, well....... thanks again. ~:-) CB "Suzanne S.

Why do cross references change when I print?
This is strange. Are you seeing it with just a particular document, or with
other documents as well? Try copying the document except for the final paragraph mark (Ctrl+A, Shift+Left arrow) and pasting (Ctrl+V) into a new blank document. Does the problem now go away? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "gr8auntieokie" wrote: Yeah, tell me about it!!

Why do cross references change when I print?
Nope, I tried that. I also tried inserting document into an empty Word
window. Nothing changed the way those cross-references worked, and since the attorney is verrrrrry anal about such things, I finally just turned off the cross-references and converted them to hard text.... in THIS document. I've never had the problem before (that I know of). It's also weird that this is a document WE created so I don't know why it's not playing nicely.

But it does happen with a particular document, only? That indicates document
corruption. You may want to take a look at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/corruptdoc.htm for more.

Yeah, me too. Thanks for trying to help, tho'. This document WAS a version of an earlier document (altho' we didn't use Word's versions; instead, we used our doc manager, Worldox, to save the versions), and that may have been part of the problem. In any case, I went ahead and froze the paragraph number fields and then took out the fields. This attorney likes to control his documents anyway so he double-checks all the cross-references by hand, even if the so-called fields were doing it for him. But again, thanks for trying.
