Cross reference makes page break

When in a Word document we make links (cross references) to e.g. a table or a
figure, it often happens that just before the link, it create a page break or
several lines between the normal text and the text marked as link. I delete
the page break but all of sudden it is there again. The only way I could
solve it is to write the text (e.g. see Table 4) and not link it. Is there
any way to solve that problem?
 
Cross-references are REF fields which make use of bookmarks. What you
are describing usually means that the bookmark has been "expanded" to
include excess information, such as a manual page break or one or more
empty paragraphs (¶). This happens if you press Enter at the beginning
of a bookmarked paragraph to create a new paragraph, or if you insert a
page break with the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph.

Just delete the empty paragraphs; this will be easier if you first
display nonprinting marks (press Ctrl+Shift+8).

Also delete the manual page break, and then format the caption with
"Page break before" (Paragraph dialog box, Line and Page Breaks tab)
formatting instead.

Finally, update the cross-reference fields, for example by switching to
Print Preview.
