When you say "the x-refs completely disappear," do you mean the visual cues (blue color and underline, or whatever) are gone? Maybe the container document is missing the character tag that applies that formatting, or maybe the char tag exists, but is defined wrong. Or maybe the x-ref definition in the container document doesn't include that char tag. For instance, if the char tag is named Xref, maybe in the text inset source doc, the x-ref format is defined as "<Xref><$paranum>," and in the container it's defined simply as "<$paranum>," or as "<xref><$paranum>" (to FM, Xref and xref are different char tags). If both the x-ref formats and the char formats are the same in the text inset source and destination, then there should be no difference between Retain Source's Formatting and Reformat Using Current Document's Formats. (You didn't accidentally select Reformat as Plain Text, did you?) One more thing: Be aware that even after you get the x-refs working right in FM, they won't be "live" hyperlinks in PDF -- a most annoying bug. The workaround is cumbersome, but can be scripted: just before creating the PDF, save all files in the book. Then convert all text insets to text, create the PDF, and close all files without saving.
