SYMPTOMS
When you insert a cross-reference to the paragraph number of an item formatted with a multilevel numbering style, the cross-reference does not include the ending punctuation. For example, if you have text formatted like this   1. item 1.1. item 1.1.1. item the cross-reference you create to one of these items looks similar to this:   1 1.1        1.1.1



CAUSE
This is normal behavior in Word. The punctuation is retained for simple numbering formats, but the ending punctuation is removed from multilevel numbering formats. Microsoft implemented this functionality at the request of customer feedback.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, type a period immediately after you insert the cross-reference.
