Cross Reference Links broken

I am using Word 2003. They aren't in text boxes and are not wrapped. If you
like I can send you a sample to look at

I determined what the cause was and was able to fix it. The problem occured
because I had an operating system upgrade and therefor had MS Office 2003
re-installed. So any customizations that I made to Word where therefor gone.

The customization was in my captions. I added a new label called
"Illustration" once I placed it back in and updated my fields (Ctrl+all and
F9) Everything was back into place.

Indeed, labels are stored in the Normal template (not in the current
document template, which would make more sense).
