But the REF field is listed in this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/212054/ ("Some fields are updated while
other fields are not"). I believe Microsoft needs to review all of those
articles on field updating. sigh

Okay, thanks. Odd that REF is not mentioned in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211629, "Which fields are updated when you
open, repaginate, or print document." PAGEREF is mentioned.

Print Preview does work for REF fields even if you don't select the
option to update fields at print.

I suspect that switching to Print Preview wouldn't work (except for
fields that update at print time anyway) if you didn't have "Update
fields" enabled in the Print Options.

Switching to Print Preview and then back to your favorite view works.
Also, you can set the option to update fields before printing: In Word
2007, click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the
Display category, select "Update fields before printing."

Is there a reason cross-references aren't updated automatically?
Currently,
a user has to hit ctrl+a, f9 to update all cross-references (and do it
again
for the header/footer, since ctrl+a does not highlight them) in the
document.
This makes cross-references unusable for large documents edited by
many
people, some of whom don't know that the cross-references need to be
manually
updated (or don't know how).
I can't imagine why this wouldn't be done automatically on save -
perhaps
that can be added as a feature to Office 2010 SP1?
