SYMPTOMS
When you update fields in a master document that contains cross-references, the following error messages may appear in place of the cross-references:

Error! Reference source not found.

-or-

Error! Bookmark not defined.

NOTE: These errors can also occur in a normal document if the document contains figures, captions, pictures, or other cross-references.



CAUSE
If you delete the cross-reference source or remove the subdocument that contains it, Word can no longer locate the source and may display the error messages listed in the "Symptoms" section of this article.

A cross-reference consists of a REF field that points to a special, internal bookmark at the cross-reference source. As a result, the errors that occur refer to REF field or bookmark problems.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about cross-references and master documents, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type overview of cross references in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.
