RE: Word X-refs without punctuation

Yup, I think you're missing that you don't need to use autonumbering fields.

Use one of the built-in heading styles (1-9) and either the numbering or the
outline numbering feature for the heading style and customize it.

When you get to the cross-reference dialog box, you'll see that Word has
inserted a space between the A and the colon in the list where you select
the reference, and you're all set.
