I *think* the documents are listed in the order they were opened. Test it out and see if that helps any.
I don't have any solutions to offer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda G.

I would love it if the list of paragraphs would be alphabetic.

I wish it showed only Paragraph Tags in the target doc that actually have X-Refs. For example, I never have X-Refs to bulleted list items or to text with the CellBody style, so it would be much easier if those weren't even in the list. I guess that's a wish-list item for Adobe. > > Annoyance #3: After I have selected Para Tags and the specific ParaTag I am X-reffing to (usually Heading 1 or 2), then I select the Document. The list of document files seems essentially random. I wish I knew how they are ordered, and better yet how to sort them in book order or at least alphabetically. > > If anybody has insights or clues to make this less tedious, I will have a very happy new year indeed. > > And if not, well a very Happy New Year to you all anyway, with thanks for all your great year-round support on this list! > > John Sgammato > Principal Technical Writer > Imprivata, Inc > Lexington, MA 02421 > > _______________________________________________ > > > You are currently subscribed to Framers as shmuelw1 at gmail.com. > > Send list messages to framers at lists.frameusers.com. > > To unsubscribe send a blank email to > framers-unsubscribe at lists.frameusers.com > or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/shmuelw1%40gmail.com > > Send administrative questions to listadmin at frameusers.com.
