Hi everyone,

I frequently use inbuilt Word endnotes in very long documents as a referencing system, and where I need to re-refer to an existing reference, I use the cross-reference function (formatted superscript to match).

I use ctrl-A and F9 to update all cross-references manually as I go.

Today, I've noticed to my horror that the number for one of my endnotes isn't updating, in any place that I've cross-referenced to it. That is: I add a new endnote and all of the subsequent endnotes move up a number. But for reference 18, although it changes to 19, all of the existing crossreferences to it remain at 18. I have checked a handful of other cross-references and they appear to be updating fine and moving up a number to match where their endnote has moved to.

The '18's in question are not inside a text box, and are successfully being selected when I use ctrl-A.

Could this endnote be corrupted somehow? And how do I check whether it is the case for any others? These are big documents with many endnotes and crossreferences, so manually checking every single one is impossible. And I have lost track of which information came from where... I was relying on the endnotes to be accurate!

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Best, Sarah
