Hi Janet
It's not a problem with too many cross references, it is a problem with
using cross references on headings full stop.
How Word works when you create a cross reference that points to a heading is
that it puts in a hidden bookmark. Only problem is they have the same
problems as visible bookmarks only you can't see when a problem is
occurring. If you add text around a heading you will find extra text gets
included in the hidden bookmark or sometimes bits of heading will fall out
of the bookmark.
Your best bet is to create your own bookmarks then use cross references to
bookmarks. Then at least you can see what's going on!

Subject: [austechwriter] Can anyone help with some numbers?
I have a Word file created and running on Word 2000 that is:
3.16mg in size
and has 782 cross references in it.
The cross references frequently become corrupt (i.e. launch site gets not
only the heading but lots of following paragraphs).
I have said that the file has too many cross references. I've been asked to
find out how many cross references is too many. While I would rather ignore
the question, has anyone any idea if I can find this out?
The document is 355 pages long, has long lots of tables, graphics and fonts
in it although they don't seem to cause any grief. Scant lip service has
been paid to the use of Word's styles.
I hasten to add that this file is not mine. It gets handed over for spell
checking and editing every so often. The cross references go haywire on the
originator's PC as well as any other.
I'd appreciate any help I can get to further my argument to break this file
down into smaller files.
Oh, and by the way, I do lots of Maggies with it.
Thanks.
