Cross-references in Word make use of hidden bookmarks. There is a limitation with bookmarks in Word which means that if you press Enter, or type in text, at the beginning of a bookmarked paragraph, you are actually adding content within the bookmark. Obviously, this is going to mess up the bookmark—and therefore the cross-reference as well. The workaround is to always add new content at the end of a bookmarked paragraph.
