Bug - Inside Tables

You insert a cross-reference to a numbered item in a table. Instead of showing the number you selected, the cross-reference shows 0 or a wrong number after updating fields.

You will experience problems when you insert a cross-reference in the following situation:
(1) The numbered paragraph is in a table
(2) The paragraph is not the first paragraph in the first cell in the row
(3) The paragraph is the last paragraph in the cell
(4) The paragraph contains no text except the number


If all rules above apply, Word creates a wrong bookmark for the cross-reference as explained and illustrated below.
Notice that the rules apply to the two examples illustrated above.
In the first example, the numbered paragraphs are in the second column.
In the second example, the numbered paragraphs are in the first cell in the row.


Solution

Add a space in the numbered paragraph before creating the cross-reference
