Why do cross references in Word change when I print?

[Guest]

I have several cross references in my Word document that I've edited to flow
with my text. Everything looks great, but once I print, the references change
and the hard copy reflects the changes. When I click Undo, the document goes
back to the original appearance.

Is the option to update fields on print set in the Word options?

I've tried it both with and without the update fields setting on.

OK. But are you saying that if you update the fields manually, no errors
occur?

Every time I click print, regardless of the update fields setting, some of my
references change - showing on the printed copy and the computer.

I'm assuming that the updates cause the cross-references to be incorrect in
some way? Describe in what way. What happens to them?

Also, if you manually update the fields of the document, for example by
selecting the whole document and then pressing F9, is there still a problem
with the cross-references?
