Hi Uwe, Yes, that is the answer - thanks for clearing that up. If I move the reference onto a different page it works correctly. However this is not how it is described in 3.4.2 of the tutorial:
"*...It refers to “Section 2” and depending how much text you have between > the start of Section 2 and this cross-reference you may see “on this page”, > “on the previous page” or “on page n” (whereas n is the page number).*" Currently the "*on this page*" function does not work / is not as described - it gives nothing as you describe. "*on the previous page"* is actually "*on the preceding page*" while "*on page n"* is correct. Thanks to John for the links! Hope you both had an enjoyable Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
