Funnily enough if I use the Page number instead of the paragraph
number in cross references it works fine. That is

If you use Insert > Cross r_e_ference... > Numbered Paragraphs and
then select "Page" in the "Insert reference to" option
then your document is saved with correct cross references.
I sense that this is a relatively easy bug to fix and would enable
better and safer functionality when needing to work with partners
using MS Word.

The problem may not be that OOo must improve its ability to import and
export to the doc format. it is a fact that the ODF format can represent
certain things that the DOC format cannot. The same is also true. Now, I
do not know for certain that this is one of those instances, but, the
last item that I checked it was the case. (it was related to multiple
instances of a certain type of index and the ODF format itself did not
support it). OOo has the ability to represent certain types of running
page format changes that Word is not able to handle. I don't remember
some of the others. I do remember spending a couple of hours trying to
figure out how to produce certain table formatting in Word.
Do not remember any other examples off hand... but I think that I have
seen others.
