Apparently it has been here for years!

Please fix this for 3.4. It would give LibreOffice an undoubted edge over OOo.

Comment 2 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2011-05-30 02:20:32 UTC

Are you sure that MS-Word does not show the references? 
I am facing with the same problem, but when I open the exported document in MS-Word Viewer I can see the references and I can clic them.
So it seems that the bug is in the import by LibO.

Comment 3 Svein Erik 2011-05-30 04:29:44 UTC

You are correct, the exported document seems OK in MS-Word. It is when the Word 97/XP/2000 doc file is imported back into Oowriter that the reference disappears. Still, this is a show stopper in many situations where you create documents that other people edit in MS-Word and you would like to read the updated document back into Oowriter.

This bug is major - nearly critical; someone please take a look at this.

(In reply to comment #3)
The document only appears to be OK in MS word because it is seeing the saved pre-calculated text. Try clicking on the cross-reference and hitting "F9".

Comment 7 Korrawit Pruegsanusak 2011-08-25 07:21:06 UTC

Fixed in master, will be in 3.5
