RE: My Word 2007 cross-references are flippin' out: SOLUTION

[Keith Hood <klhra -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Ah, yes. The change tracking does weird things. This was a new one; I'd never before heard of it monkeying up cross-references. 

I had a document once where there were several tables that had a pale blue background in every cell.  The background did not quite fill the cells; there was always a white border between the blue and the cell lines. I spent half an hour pulling my hair out in frustration trying to remove that background color every way I could think of, and nothing worked.

I was just about to start manually reproducing the tables, which probably would have taken half a day, when I noticed what you have already guessed - change tracking was on, and the filter was set to show the markups.  That background color was the tracking routine's way of marking table cells that had been changed. If I had accepted the changes, or just set the filter to "final" so it didn't reveal the markups, the color would have disappeared. Instead I ground my teeth down getting upset because I didn't look at that little window in the review toolbar.

Yet another reminder - work fast but never get in a hurry.
