cross-referencing new reference types

[swuehler]

I created a new reference type for a document: Text box (instead of Figure or
Table, etc.). Sometimes after I save and close my document, Text box is in
the list of reference types that can be cross-referenced and sometimes it is
not. When it is gone, I have to recreate Text box as a type, then word
recognizes those that are already there so I can cross-reference them again.
How do I avoid this intermittent loss???

Caption labels are stored in the Nomal template, so if you lose them I'm
guessing that you are somehow prevented from saving to the Normal template.

Try saving the template explicitly. If this is Word 2007, you can add the
Save All command to the Quick Access Toolbar and make use of it. If/when you
are prompted to save Normal, choose to do so.
