You are correct: it's not all x-refs. Later today I'll look up which
chapters have the most problems and let you know. I did some
reproducibility tests several years ago but can't find any notes and
don't remember details. I suspect that the problems occur in the parts
of files that started out in OOo1.x (or even in Word) rather than
being newly created, but I'd have to do a lot of research to confirm
that. However, it might give you a clue what to look for in the code.
BTW, sometimes when I fix the problem x-refs they stay fixed; other
times they don't. I suspect, but haven't tested, that the difference
is between deleting and reinserting the x-ref field (may stick) vs
right-clicking and amending the field (may not stick).
I don't know what "kludge" for the x-ref problem Gary is referring to
in his note. I have workarounds for a few master doc problems (not all
of them bugs), but not that one... or at least not that I can remember.

The kludge was for employing x-refs across different subdocuments in a
master document--something that Writer was not meant to perform. Or at
least, that is what I thought. In any event, I tend to use Adobe
FrameMaker for most master document writing/editing.
