The unavailable fonts message is probably the cause of your problem, as suggested earlier by another poster. The message is preventing the file(s) that contains the "bad"cross-references from being able to silently open the file that contains the x-ref sources in order to refresh the x-refs themselves. Instead of getting an opened file in response to its request, FrameMaker gets a warning message that it doesn't know how to dismiss. It doesn't have to be an unavailable fonts message; *any* message (missing graphic, unresolved cross-reference, etc.) will prevent FrameMaker from peeking inside the file to update the reference. And when any x-ref cannot be refreshed for any reason, FrameMaker reports it as unresolved; FrameMaker simply doesn't bother to analyze the situation in any greater detail.
If the file(s) containing the x-ref sources are already open when the x-refs are refreshed (during an update book operation, for example), there is no warning message and no report of unresolved x-refs. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

All to no avail. I do notice that all the so-called unresolved cross-references are to only three targets, but the markers in those targets look fine. Also, the references themselves are correct (correct headings and page numbers cited). I don't get the error message when I update the book from Edit/Update book, nor do I get the messages when I open the files by themselves, although I do get a message that says there are unsupported fonts, which I know there are not. Anybody? ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Gold <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 12:51 pm Subject: Re: FW: Those ol' cross-references blues > I seem to recall a posting that suggested that the problem may be > caused by the book file retaining incorrect information about > cross-references, not that the references themselves are > unresolved. > The fix I believe was to delete the old book file, make a new book > file, and add the files to it. > > >Hi Framers, > > > >FrameMaker 7.0p578/Windows XP Pro > > > >Every time I open a certain book in FrameMaker, I get three messages > >telling me that three of the files (out of 17) have unresolved > cross- > >references and one message telling me that one of the referenced > >graphics in one of the files can't be found. > > > >Each time, I've gone into the chapters, searched for unresolved > cross- > >references, and re-applied them.
