 When you x-ref to a heading, all Word does is put in a hidden bookmark. If 
you want to control this you are far better off creating your own bookmarks 
and making sure you display the bookmark character on screen so you can 
immediately see if they've wandered off.
 Another thing I do to try and control bookmark creep is to not bookmark the 
beginning of the heading (the end of the bookmark is generally less 
temperamental). For example I would have "The [xxx Dialog]", that way I can 
add a carriage return before the heading without affecting the bookmark.

Hope that helps.
