They tell you to insert a paragraph cross-reference and then delete it? That's a pretty convoluted way to insert a Cross-Ref marker, and it doesn't let you create meaningful marker text. I suggest replacing steps 2 and 3 with: 2. With the cursor at the beginning of the paragraph you want to cross-reference, go to Special > Marker. 3. In the Marker dialog, set Marker Type to Cross-Ref and Marker Text to something meaningful that identifies this location. Click New Marker. And replacing step 5 with: 5. In the document that contains the text inset, go to Special > Cross-Reference. 6. In the Cross-Reference dialog, leave Document set to Current, set Source Type to Cross-Reference Markers, and select the marker you inserted in the text inset. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected].
