In FrameMaker 10 you can find text in xrefs. That is, if you have a link that contains words you put into the search they will show up in the xref.
If I have a document that only contains this (and markup is just to make it easier to get the idea): <Body>Related info</Body> <xref>Global Warming</xref> Now I search for Warming. The result will highlight the entire xref content, but it does find this information. Hope that helps a bit. It's a consideration that was built into the new release.

Is there a workaround for this limitation? Of course, it is possible to create a PDF file and search for the relevant text strings there, but there must be another way to overcome this problem, without using alternative file formats. Any ideas? Thank you in advance! Roman _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as bernard at publishingsmarter.com.
