Maybe this is involved:

There's a known bug in
TCS4/RH10<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.adobe.com%2Fmessage%2F4612518&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFrqEzepDt2X3wCCmZttw4RQI8m8OdKemA>.
(At that page, see the thread at the bottom of the page.)

Cross-references do not work unless you place the RH project folder on your
computer desktop. Until Adobe fixes this issue, create all of your RH
projects on the desktop.

For legacy projects, you will also have to move your projects to the
desktop and update the location of the FM book inside of RH. If need be,
simply delete the link to the book and re-link it in RH.

As a precaution, it is also advisable to place the FM project folder on the
C:/ drive as well, not inside the Documents folder.
