Not always but quite often, when I get into a document with cross references
some of them turn to 0. I will reinsert them, get out of the document and
back in and some of them have changed back to zero.

Try to ensure that you are not placing cross-references WITHIN the numbering
or table of contents fields. Make sure you place the cross-reference a few
characters away from any fields or the beginning of a paragraph.

If you are using Tracked Changes with bullets or numbering, ... Well,
"don't". The combination breaks cross-references every time. Either set
bookmarks and cross-reference them, or use Compare Documents instead of
Tracked Changes. Or get used to having to rebuild your cross references
every now and again!

Otherwise, when you re-open the document and the fields recalculate, the
cross-reference target is deleted.

Cheers
