I'm not disputing Ms. Gallagher's advice, but I would warn you about cross-referencing to headings in general. The internally generated markers that Word uses to identify headings in cross-references are somehow based on their positions within the document. I've never figured out whether they're just offsets from the beginning of the document or what, but they can go badly awry (i.e., stop working correctly) if you rearrange the document.

Just something to watch out for.

In my own documents, I *always* cross-reference to bookmarks rather than headings, which is foolproof as long as you're careful not to insert text inside the bookmars. (That's easy to avoid if you just leave bookmarks visible all the time.)
