Macro to report dangling references while closing word documents

Most of the times it happens that, the Cross-references I use in the
word doc become dangling references due to various reasons. It is the
worst case when I release the documents officially without noticing
this problem. To avoid such cases in future, I am just wondering
whether I can make one macro to get invoked while closing any word
document. This macro will check for the presence of such dangling
references. If they exist, then, it will report the same to the user.
Could you help in constructing such a macro?

Thanks!

I always update x-ref manually (rather than automatically). Just press
F9. I think it works even if you are doing it automatically. It
generates an error message if any link is broken. You could probably
include that in a shut down macro, but maybe just using it routinely
would help you.
