Hi Sarah,

it would be nice to see the document you've created so far. 
I'm not sure if I'm able to help - but others will be interested
in the example with your problem too.

Perhaps the tutorial is not the best here. If I insert a cross-
reference like you described it I get the text 

"If you want to know more about this document, then see Section 
*2 on the previous page*, which can be found on page."

in Preview. The phrase between the stars is the generated text
of the reference. Obviously the rest of the sentence is nonsense.

Regards,
Stephan
