Well, after an extensive scientific review process, I've discovered that
what's consistently disappearing are the page numbers from the TOC, and in
the xref that say "on page XX", the "on" is gone, so it just says " page
XX". I use a macro to apply a character style to xrefs and the TOC, and
I've found that if I use the macro, bits of the xrefs disappear, but if I
hand-apply the style, the xref stay visible. All the xrefs have been
inserted using the Insert> Cross-reference, and inserted as a reference to
the heading text, and the page number, using the above/below to make the
"on page" part of the cross reference. None of the xrefs are bookmarks.

Dick Margulis sent me some useful suggestions on places to look, and I've
tried setting everything to unencrypted and uncompressed, and that
worked...but only once--I can't seem to reproduce that happy result.

...any other suggestions perhaps?
Thanks,
Mandy
