Chapter page references in paragraphs

kenking · #1 02-06-2020, 02:19 PM

I am getting inconsistent results using. Sometimes it works other times it doesn't do anything.
Then there are times when some references update and others don't.

Sometimes some references change to a number unrelated to any valid page (page 6 when it should be page 27).

How can I insure consistent, correct updates?

You can force an update of cross-references by switching to print preview (click File > Print) and then return to Print Layout view (press ESC).

Are you seeing a problem with cross-references or with other fields? I'm asking because cross-references should update without exceptions when you File > Print and then exit the preview.

It is normal for Word not to update all kinds of fields, even on print preview.
