Hi alysenet,

With Captions and Headings, whenever you cross-reference one, Word creates a hidden bookmark to the whole paragraph.

If you insert a page break between the text of a paragraph and the paragraph's end marker (ie the ¶ symbol), that page break becomes part of the pragraph's text. Similarly, if you insert a paragraph break at the end of an already cross-referenced Caption or Heading, what you're effectively telling Word is that you want to extend the range covered by the cross-referencing bookmark. And that's how you can end up with extraneous text in the cross-reference. You just need to take a little more time learning how things work.
