Hi,

Is anyone having problems with Cross Referencing and Heading 1?

I am finding (even starting a document from scratch) that the Heading 1
reference does not work properly. It will update the reference itself but
does not update the heading number.

What version of Word are you using?
I have not noticed any particular problem with cross-referencing Heading 1.
How do you refresh the cross-reference, sometime the numbering may not
update the first time of refresh, for example the cross-reference is before
the heading in the document and it's numbering has changed. It is common
practise, when refreshing autonumbering and cross-references, to run it twice
to capture such occurences.
ie Ctrl+A (to select whole document), F9, replace enite table if you have
such things. Repeat.
Does this refresh and update your numbering?
Hope this helps

Thanks Dean Using Word 2003. We have used Ctrl A plus f9 for whole doc then
right click update field on the particular item - no change.

This field may have inadvertently been locked.
Use Ctrl+shft+F11, either on the whole document or just this specific field
and see if it refreshes.
Ctrl+F11 locks fields codes.
If this does not work, have you tired entering an new cross-reference
alongside the old reference, does this work OK?
Hope this helps
