Cross-references need to be handled a little differently when used in
text insets. FrameMaker help says this:
==
Insert a cross-reference to a paragraph in a text inset
If you insert a paragraph cross-reference to a text inset, the
cross-reference marker is sometimes lost when the text inset is updated.
To prevent the marker from being lost, first insert a cross-reference to
the paragraph in the text inset's source document.
1.
Open the source of the inset by double-clicking the inset and then
clicking Open Source from the Text Inset Properties panel.
2.
Insert a cross-reference to the paragraph anywhere in the source
document.
3.
Delete the cross-reference text. The marker remains.
4.
Save the source document, and then in the document that contains the
text inset, update the text inset by choosing Edit > Update References.
5.
Insert a spot cross-reference, this time in the document that
contains the inset. The cross-reference uses the marker in the
updated inset.

Thanks Alan and Mike.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the discussion that I needed. I guess I
just couldn't come up with the correct search string.
Here's my issue...
Using FM10 as part of TCS 3.5
Win 7
I'm creating very large, detailed, programmer-level documentation. It
seems best to include some material in more than one location in the
manual. Of course, I want single-source. Because of the different
heading levels at which the material will appear, it seems best to
insert these snippets as FM files within the two or three relevant
chapters. Just including the snippet files in the book doesn't work well
in this scenario, so I was thinking of using text inserts of FM files
within the chapter files.
The problem that I'm having is setting up cross-references and indexes
within these snippet inserts. I'd also like to use newlink markers in
the snippets and have gotolink markers reference the correct location
where a snippet appears. I'm using gotolink because I want the reader of
the PDF to be able to jump to the reference without having actual
cross-reference text inserted.
I know that I'm asking for a lot here. Does anyone have suggestions for
one or more of these issues?

Framers,
I mostly just lurk here, but I need to find an answer to a question
that I know has been discussed. Unfortunately, I can't find how to
search old posts or archives. What am I missing?
