Greetings. Does anyone here know how to change the font style Word uses for
cross-references?

I want my cross-references to have the appearance of hyperlinks, so that my
readers know they can Ctrl+click them to get to the cross-referenced
location.

Potential solutions I've tried and why they don't work for me:
1. Use actual hyperlinks: These don't give me the benefit of updated
cross-reference text based on updated text of the section, bookmark, or
whatever else I'm referencing.

2. Create the cross-reference and then format it as blue underlined text to
give it the appearance of a hyperlink. I do a lot of cross-referencing so I
wish there were some way I could set my cross-references to behave like this
by default. Also, I've noticed some funky formatting problems that occur
after I've done this, such as if I type directly to the right of text after
turning it to blue underline the new text is also blue underlined text....

Thanks in advance,
Jose
