    Hi Anie,

    According to the error message, this means that the target of the cross references is missing in this document. Generally, to fix it, you need to either delete the cross reference or re-create it so that it refers to the appropriate part of the document. As Stefan mentioned, it will be a time-consuming task.

    Also, we welcome community members to share ideas about the situation if one has related experiences.

    Sincerely,

    Your description indicates that your document contains damaged cross-references. Something has happened to the cross-reference target or to the bookmark that encloses the target. Unfortunately, fixing the broken references/bookmarks may be a time-consuming task.
