In cases where it isn't possible to add new content "correctly" (from Word's perspective), you can always delete the messed up cross-reference and recreate it.
Just to be clear, note that you must always force an update of Word's cross-references. Switching to Print Preview and back to your previous view works fine (use Ctrl+F2 followed by ESC). To explicitly update selected fields, press F9.
