I don't know what "kludge" for the x-ref problem Gary is referring to

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.
We don't have any x-refs between subdocs, only within individual
subdocs, so that isn't relevant to the problems I've been encountering.
The "kludge" to which you refer is in fact OOo working as designed --
it uses a cumbersome but (in my experience) quite workable, though not
obvious, method which I have written up in the Master Docs chapter of
the Writer Guide. What I wrote there may be out of date and may be
easier now (I hope!); it's on my list of things to check when I revise
that chapter.
