updating cross references - troublshooting

[Guest]

I have inserted a cross reference (I believe successfully) but the reference
does not update (automatically or using F9) when the info changes.

ie) I have a numbered outline list. One of my items refers to previous
item, I've inserted the reference, and it appears, but when I make changes
and the number of the referenced item changes the reference itself does not
update to reflect the new number/change.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWVs?=,

Inserting a cross-reference should insert a REF field to a hidden bookmark with
a funny name like _Ref111111111. If you press Alt+F9 do you see anything like
that? (Alt+F9 again to turn off the field codes)
