Word automatic cross-references make use of hidden bookmarks, which will
expand if you add text (or press Enter) at the beginning of a
cross-referenced paragraph. The trick is to press Enter at the end of the
previous paragraph instead, and then type the text you want to add. You can
then "merge" the paragraphs, if necessary, by deleting the paragraph mark
you just inserted.

To fix an existing cross-reference that points to an incorrect item, you can
delete the cross-reference and reinsert it.

Hello
I'm editing a legal document with cross references most of which work
fine.
However when I went in an edited cross reference Section 9.2 to Section
9.2(c) the numbering changed to read 5.4(c). However, when I control
clicked
on the incorrect 5.4(c) it linked to the correct 9.2(c).

It seems that whatever cross references I try to modify it will change to
some combination of 5.4 yet will still take me to the correct linked
section
in the document.

Is there a way around this without going back and manually editing the
cross
reference name?

Thank you in advance.
