How can I insure consistent, correct updates?

You can force an update of cross-references by switching to print preview (click File > Print) and then return to Print Layout view (press ESC).



Are you seeing a problem with cross-references or with other fields? I'm asking because cross-references should update without exceptions when you File > Print and then exit the preview.

It is normal for Word not to update all kinds of fields, even on print preview.
