Default Cross Reference Error

I have a Word 2003 document that contains cross references. I've discovered
that sometimes when I print the document a random cross reference will give
the following error message:

Error! Reference source not found.

Other times it prints just fine. Any Thoughts?

Default Cross Reference Error

When you get that error message, you need to delete and re-build the
cross-reference.

The information that is "read" by the cross-reference is stored in the
paragraph marker of the target paragraph. If, during your editing, you add or
delete paragraph markers or split a paragraph, you can lose the link. Then
the cross-reference can't find what it's looking for.

If this answers your question, it would be appreciated if you would click
the "Yes" button.

Thanks,

Jerry
