Cross-references always point to a particular location, defined by a hidden bookmark. Looking at an example in your file, I can tell that the hidden bookmark is called "_Ref528234056." That bookmark points to an item numbered "Exhibit 1."

Things may happen when you combine two separate files that both contain bookmarks. Typically, problems occur if bookmarks have the same name in two different files and those files are combined into one.
