BTW, yesterday I noticed that an x-ref was incorrectly made to Table

Table 2 was only two lines later in the chapter, but Table 1 was a

Thanks, Gary. I've found that x-refs often end up incorrect when the
material has been copied or moved from somewhere else. They should
self-correct but sometimes they don't (or they revert to incorrect
after saving, closing, and reopening the file). I suspect the problem
arises when material is copied from one chapter to another, and the
first chapter of each book shares a lot of material with the
corresponding chapter in the Getting Started book.

I made that change, plus numerous others in the Chapter 1 file I parked
in the forum site under the Calc--Chapter 1 forum therein.
The chapter template also has an incorrect OOoFileName character style
(that should have been used for at least three filenames or file
extensions in Chapter 1) configuration--font size too tiny. I used the
OOoComputerCode characterr style instead for those entries in the
interim--until the chapter template gets fixed. The kindly reviewer did
not follow all the character styles appropriately--easy too do with the
way we (normally) do character style formatting.
And some clarifying or missing text was added where I deemed it
necessary in order to touch all the bases--except for that one section
or two where I invited other author or editors to fill in those voids in
the exposition.
Plus the usual copyedits...
