Default Superscripted cross-refs change to regular font size?

Hope someone can help because this is driving me sort of crazy!

I am superscripting cross-references in the text based on a numbered
(bulleted) list of text items (bibliography) in the same document. When I
select the entire document (cntl-A), right click, and Update field, some (but
not all) of the superscripted cross-refs revert back to the non-superscripted
font size.
Here are the steps I am doing:
(I have a numbered bulleted list of references in the same document.)
1. Put cursor where I want to insert the cross-reference in the text. Then:
Insert/Reference/Cross reference/Reference type = numbered item/Insert
reference to = paragraph number/ok. (Cross-reference number appears where
cursor was in text, in text font size.)
2. Select the cross-reference numberin the text, and superscript it, by
either clicking on the superscript button in the tool-bar, or
Format/font/superscript (the problem occurs regardless).
3. Do cntl-A to select the entire document.
4. Right-click and select Update field (I do this periodically because the
sequence of items in the bibliography changes as I add more and resort them;
also, the TOC changes as I add text).
5. Here's where the problem occurs - some of the inserted cross-refs revert
back to the original font size and are no longer superscripted. Some don't,
but I can't figure out what is different about the ones that don't. How do I
get them all to stay superscripted when I update the fields in the document?
Or is there a better way to do this? THANKS!!!
