Jallen666Agree with you there. The changing versions work-around is only for people who have full control and what's happened is a pretty fundamental regression in Word functionality. I raised a ticket with MS, but the "switch to semi annual" response was what I got back.
However, I'm not even sure semi annual will be a long term fix - the XPS/PDF export "fix" that I suspect caused the problem was in the semi annual preview channel build for Sept 14 (Build 14326.20404), so the problem may crop up in the semi annual channel in March 2022.

Actually, according to this thread (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/cross-reference-links-eg-table-of-content-table-of/181567c4-6cfe-4749-923e-452c75ba0c5f?page=2) the issue has been resolved in the latest Current channel.
The Oct 14 release, coming just 2 days after the previous release does seem to be an attempt to patch this regression.
