Default Frustration with Crossreferencing when Saving as PDF

Hi! I've been trying to crossference a document. I've been creating bookmarks and then choosing the 'insert reference to bookmark text' option where crossreferencing, but reformatting that bookmark text to better fit in with the text around it.
After having done that for a few hundred pages of text, I saved the document as a PDF-- but all of the bookmarks reverted to their original text formats.
This is very frustrating. I now have to go back and re-edit all those 'links', but since I ultimately have to save it as a PDF anyway, I was wondering if there was any way to prevent this from occuring again the next time that I saved my document as a PDF.
I'd rather not add page numbers because it messes up other parts of my formatting.
Please help! I will love you forever!


Okay.
The initial panic of posting the question is over, so I'm going to try and just outline things a little more clearly.

When I want to crossreference something in a document, I first bookmark the text I want my link to go to-- for example 'USE GROUP 1'--which is a heading of a section of my document.

I then go elsewhere in the document, where it reads, for example 'See Use Group 1'.

So I highlight 'See Use Group 1' and insert a crossreference, selecting 'Bookmark' and then 'Insert Bookmark Text' (instead of 'page number' or 'above/below'--I want to clickable link to be text, and this is the only option available. What I get is 'See USE GROUP 1 ', which I then edit to look like 'See Use Group 1' again--but which still works as a crossref hyperlink.



When I save it as a word doc, everything is fine.

It's only when I save it as a PDF that every link within the Word Doc and within the PDF converts to the original formatting of the bookmark--so that I get 'See USE GROUP 1' again.
