This is the case for me; there was a thread about this on the lyx-docs lists and, when I went through the Tutorial file, using just the instructions in the manual, I ended up with the cross-reference on the same page as the tagged section. In this case, “<reference> on page <page>” defaults to “<reference>”; you can only get it to work as implied if the cross-reference and the tagged section are on different pages. So I thought I would make good use of this quirk to encourage people to try out some of the other options. The only case in which this would not happen would be if the new user copied a large amount of material into example.lyx so that it pushed the cross-reference on to the next page. So the other alternative would be to introduce an instruction to copy enough material into example.lyx to achieve this. However, I thought the Hint idea was better for getting the new user to explore other options. John --
