Hi MS Office Forum,

I'm putting together my dissertation and it has lots of cross-references to different tables and figures. I'm of course using MS Word's Caption/Cross-reference tool. But there always seems to be a problem with some of the cross references when I insert them into my text. Note I'm using MS Word 2007.

For instance, I'll insert a cross-reference for Table 5-6 as in the example below. This looks great at first. But when I move elsewhere in the document or try in print a problem arises. Basically, MS Office breaks the page and places the cross-reference on a new page. I've gone back to try and fix it, but the problem just re-emerges. It's highly annoying!! The only way I know how to ultimately get rid of it is by manually managing the Captions/Cross-references.

Any help would be appreciated. I wonder if it's not somehow linked to how the Caption is formatted and then picked-up by the cross-reference tool. However, I haven't found any consistent pattern to effectively deal with it.

WHAT I WANT TO DO:


From one shop in New Orleans, the voucher was found to decrease the price of fertilizers by 40-50% (Table 5-6). The policy only extended to chemical fertilizers and not insecticides. The introduction of the fertilizer voucher system, was beginning to incline villagers in Houston to move back to chemical fertilizers.
