First Number in Cross Referenced Number List Won't Update

[Guest]

Hello;

I have a numbered list of items that I cross-reference throughout my
document (I.e., the text in the document makes reference to items in a
numbered list by the number of the item.)

When I update add or remove items from the list (like add a new #4 which
makes the shifts the old #4 to #5) and then update the cross-references
(Shift-A, F9), the reference numbers update as expected as long as I don't
add a new #1.

If I update the first item in the number list (I.e., item #1 becomes item
#2), then the cross-references don't update

Any ideas on how to fix this? Anyone else experience this problem?

BTW, I'm using Word 2003 SP2.

Sincerely,
Todd M. Taylor

If you press Return while the insertion point is in the start of an already
Ref-bookmarked paragraph, the new paragraph will be included in the bookmark.
See the demo below Problem 2 at the following address for details and for
information about how to repair and prevent the problem:
