SYMPTOMS
========
When you update fields in a master document that contains cross- references, the
following error messages may occur in place of the cross-reference:
Error! Reference source not found.
Error! Bookmark not defined.
These errors also occur in a normal document if the document contains figures,
captions, pictures, or other cross-references.
CAUSE
=====
If you delete the cross-reference source or remove the subdocument that contains
it, Word for Windows can no longer locate the source and displays the above
error messages.
A cross-reference consists of a REF field that points to a special, internal
bookmark at the cross-reference source. As a result, the errors that occur refer
to REF field or bookmark problems.
For more information about the special bookmarks Word uses for cross- references,
indexes, and tables of contents, please see the following articles in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q112542 Text Added to End of Line Not Included in Cross-Reference
MORE INFORMATION
================
In a master document, you can create cross-references between the master
document and a subdocument or between two subdocuments. If you insert, merge,
move, split, or create a subdocument that contains a cross-reference, Word
maintains the cross-reference as long as the REF field and cross-reference
bookmark remain intact.
