Hyperlinks to page numbers in cross references

[janmd]

When using Word 2003, I inseted a crossreference to the page number of
a heading. I then inserted a page brea before the heading. I used F9
to update the page number which was fine, but then using Ctrl + click
it took me to the old page rather than the new one. Am I doing
something stupid?

If you inserted a manual page break at the beginning of the heading, the
hidden bookmark that Word uses for the cross-reference has expanded to
include the break (and possibly also other contents, such as text). The
quickest fix is to delete and then recreate the cross-reference.

In the future, carefully add page breaks and/or text at the *end* of a
paragraph, not at the beginning. That way, any bookmarks present won't
expand.
