The "original" paragraph?  Like to have a number of cross-references and 
go back to the specific cross-reference that reader clicked?  That would 
require your Word document to be an application and Word does not work 
like that.

If there is only one cross-reference that refers to the table, then 
create a bookmark at the location of the x-ref that you x-ref where the 
original x-ref refers, but you will need to get creative with how you 
name and bookmark your x-refs.

For example, if x-ref1 refers to "Table 1," then x-ref1 will have the 
text "Table 1."  If you bookmark x-ref1 and create x-ref2 at Table 1 to 
go back to x-ref1, then you will have an x-ref1 displayed as "Table 1" 
while at the position of Table 1 you will have "Table 1 Table 1."  So, 
you need to have separate x-refs and targets.
