I'm told this is a long-standing problem, but I'm hoping there's a
workaround. A coworker has two tables in a document. One table contains
text that cross-references the content in the other table. When the
target table is sorted, all the x-ref markers disappear and the
cross-references to the target table no longer work. When the source
table is sorted, no problems.
Any ideas on how to make this work, other than to sort all final content
first and then insert x-refs? ;-)
This is indeed a long-standing problem -- present since table sorting
capability was added to FM.
The only workaround I know of is to change the marker type of all
cross-reference markers (in tables or throughout), leaving the marker text
unchanged (for example, change the marker type to a custom type, or to
Comment if not used otherwise).
After the table is sorted, change the marker type back to Cross-reference.
This can be automated with FrameScript or by processing the MIF file.
