Updating cross reference markers

hi all,
 
Over the years as our documents have evolved, and headings and subheadings have been fine-tuned and changed, and chapters moved around and titled re-worked as content changes, I've had a growing problem with my cross reference markers not matching the text of the actual paragraph/heading. Looking in the Framemaker 7 Ref guide, I found this helpful statement:
 
"For paragraph cross references, the marker test contains a number assigned to the marker, and the paragraph tag and text of the paragraph being cross referenced. (The marker text is not updated, so the tag and text may not match the cross-reference.)"
 
Is there in fact no way to update the cross reference markers across a book, so that they actually reflect the text of the heading/etc. that they're attached to? Or is it like a unique ID (key) used to establish the relationship? I would have expected there to be an underlying numeric key value or something, as well as the text itself. Or is that not the case? I couldn't find anything on this in the archives, nor online
 
Thanks,
 
Kevin Hunter
