Default Cross-references and Outline View in Word 2003

My dear friend,

Yes, I update the field, and the cross-reference brings across more
information than I want because MS Word has so helpfully moved the opening
bracket of my bookmark without my consent or knowledge. Your question
suggests that I have failed to explain my problem despite my best efforts.
I apologize for my lack of clarity and thank you for replying nonetheless.

Sincerely,
A guy who writes too much on this newsgroup and not enough in his manuals

Did you update the fields in the document? Ctrl+A, F9 ?

;2483481']When I use outline view to rearrange the order of headings in
my manuals, it
breaks my cross-references. In the following example, I want to use
outline
view to move Heading C above B without breaking a cross-reference to B
that
is under D. Follow me? Sorry, I'm trying to make this easy. ;-) Please

notice the square brackets around Heading B. They represent the
bookmark
used by the X-ref under D.

Heading A
Body text for A.

[Heading B]
Body text for B.

Heading C
Body text for C.

Heading D
Hey see "Heading B" for really neat info.

When I move C above B, C takes the opening bookmark with it. Instead of

having a bookmark that points just to Heading B, it points to C, body
text
under C, and Heading B. The cross-reference to this bookmark now show
all of
this information.

Heading A
Body text for A.

[Heading C
Body text for C.

Heading B]
Body text for B.

Heading D
Hey see "Heading C
Body text for C.

Heading B" for really neat info.

Does anyone know how to avoid moving bookmarks when using outline view
to
move paragraphs around? If not, don't worry about it. Currently, I use
cut
and paste to avoid this problem.
