How can I find where a header is referenced in a word document?

Question

I inserted a lot of cross references in my word document. (in the Insert ribben, the links group, select Cross Reference)

Is there a way to find out where I refered a certain paragraph?

Inserted cross references can be searched by their reference numbers.

For seeing those codes, you must enable "Show field codes instead of their values" in ribbon File > Options > Advanced under section Show document content.

Cross references will then be displayed as {REF Bookmark-name \h }, and then you can search the document for Bookmark-name.

You can also press Alt+F9 to turn on/off field codes currently on the page. To turn off a field code for a specific field, click on the reference and press Shift+F9 instead, or right-click the reference and select "Toggle Field Codes".

Here is an example:
