Steve,
Since I don't have your document, I can only guess. However, I suspect
that the behavior you observe really is independent of the fact that the
document is structured. When a cross-reference format includes text from
the source, FrameMaker preserves font changes that were made by applying
formats from the character catalog, but not those that were done by
character overrides to the default paragraph font. Thus, if your EDD simply
sets font properties for some text range elements but specifies character
format tags for others, cross-references will not preserve the font changes
for the former, but will for the latter.
Does that explain the differences you are seeing?
