Thanks. Indeed, only some of the cross-references in the body of the EPUB are working, ones that are not PAGEREFs. However, there are fields in the footnotes that are not PAGEREFS and that appear to be the same kind of fields are in the body, yet they are not preserved either.

For example, in the body, “About the Book” is a cross-reference (I've underlined it to indicate that). When I toggle (view) code, it changes to "{ REF _Ref171804793 \h \* MERGEFORMAT }". This one works in the EPUB.

Also in the body, "see page 92" is a cross-reference. The code is "{ PAGEREF pizza_party \h }". It is not preserved.

However, in the footnotes, "See 'Is it really necessary to cook mushrooms?,' page 869" is actually two cross-references. I can't right-click to toggle codes in a footnote area, so I copy and pasted it into the body. Then when I view the code, it is "See '{ REF _Ref7362940 \h },' page { PAGEREF _Ref7362940 \h }". In the EPUB, neither cross-reference is preserved (they are no longer hyperlinked).
