Thanks, that certainly improves matters. What I would really like, though, is for the colon to appear in the chapter titles themselves, just not in the references to them. This would be possible if I could place a colon immediately after the number in each chapter heading, although not in the definition of the heading itself. Currently, however, my Heading 1 has spaces after the number and I can't get the colon right next to it. I was unable to figure out a way to remove these spaces...
