Hi John, You can't include variables in cross-reference formats in FrameMaker.

I have a variable defined for "Book 1" and "Book 2", and will soon have "Book 3" and "Book 4" (as we expand the book to more Lines of Business) and I have the appropriate variable copied to all files in the applicable book. I want to create a cross-reference format that goes something like "See <X>, starting on page Y of book number Z" ....where X is the heading and Y is the book number variable.. What I can't figure out is to include a variable in a cross reference. What am I missing?
