Something has happened to the hidden bookmark that Word uses for
cross-references. Place the insertion point in the caption label of a
bookmarked paragraph. Then click Insert | Bookmark. Click the "Hidden
bookmarks" option, and, for "Sort by," click "Location" if "Name" is selected
(and vice versa). Word highlights the name of the applied hidden bookmark.
Click the Go To button, and see what gets selected. You'll probably find that
the bookmark has "expanded" to include excessive text (and other content).
Usually, this happens when you press Enter before a bookmarked paragraph
instead of pressing Enter at the end of the previous paragraph.
You can redefine an existing hidden bookmark by selecting the label and the
number (similar to what I suggested in the previous paragraph). Then, in the
Bookmark dialog box, find the bookmark name (as described above), and click
Add.
