Hi Janet
If you must work with the hidden cross reference bookmarks, do the
following:
1. Go to the link that's gone wonky.
2. Press Alt+F9 to display the field code for the link and note down the
number.
3. Select the heading you want the link to go to.
4. Select Insert>>Bookmark to get the Bookmark dialog up.
5. Click on the Hidden Bookmarks checkbox to display all the hidden
bookmarks (there will be lots).
6. Find the number for the link that's gone wonky, click on it, then click
on the Add button.
Et voila - link fixed! Unfortunately no guarantees that it won't happen
again.

Does this mean that you can split Word's own bookmarks? These links are to
headings not bookmarks.
When I re-do the link, they usually behave. For a day or two anyway.
Not sure about your last sentence about resetting the bookmark. If there is
one present (i.e. one that is manually assigned), I usually delete it from
the long glob of text then re-highlight the heading and re-add the bookmark.
Is there an easier way?
Thanks.

I would first check the target bookmarks havent been carelessly splattered
by the naive typings of a standard user daring to author content. 99% of the
time this is the problem. If they are editing such a document, they should
be running with View > Bookmarks set to avoid it. Resetting the bookmark is
easy. Highlight the correct range - it'll be a subset of the 'new' range.

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.
