Hello Framers, I have a script in development that streamlines the process of inserting cross-references. It works with a two-pass process. The first pass collects potential cross-reference targets and stores them in a database file. The second pass is where you can quickly insert cross-references to those sources. A floating palette lists all of the cross-reference sources and the cross-reference formats in the document. You click in the document where you want the cross-reference, select the cross-reference format and source on the palette and click Insert. It offers two main advantages over FrameMaker's Cross-Reference dialog box:
1) The palette is modeless so it can stay open while you work in the document. 2) You can insert external cross-references without having to open the source document. The script can work with element, spot, and paragraph cross-references. If you are interested in this kind of script, please contact me offlist, and I will send you some screenshots. Thank you very much. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com
