Except for the font family, superscript, and subscript properties,
FrameMaker does not replicate any character formatting from the target
of the cross-reference. This is especially problematic when _part_ of a
target has a character format applied, as in your case.
Any work-arounds for this are non-trivial. For example, I've seen
companies with product names like "<italic>Fast<default para
font>Start", which occurred frequently in headings. In the text of any
cross-references to these headings, the product name would lose its
distinctive formatting.
Workarounds for this include --
- re-write headings to avoid using the product name
- accept a default formatting for cross-reference text
- define a new font using a program like Fontographer for the italicized
portion of the product name
If I'm missing another obvious solution, I would love to hear about it.

paragraph format, but part of each of these headings has a character
format applied. Of course, the character format doesn't carry over to
the cross-reference.
Is there a step I haven't taken that will remedy this situation?
