I'm working through the LyX Tutorial and I've encountered a problem in Section 3.4.2: Your first cross-reference. I have followed the steps outlined in this section: The reference label "Ref+Text: sec:About-This-Document" then appears after the word "Section" in my text. However, when I view the .pdf file, no page information is published. The sentence reads: "If you want to know more about this document, then see Section 2, which can be found on page." Information is published for the Section but not for the page. Please let me know if you see an error in my steps. This particular format is not completely necessary for my needs, and I can fix the problem manually by including another cross-reference at the end of the word "page" and using the "<page>" format in the Cross-reference dialog, but I'd like to know whether I am creating the problem or the format contains a bug.

Hi Sarah,
see your LyX document with some basic changes I've added.


Have fun!

Look at the Document Settings. If you remove linktoc=none in Document > Settings > PDF Properties the Contents will be in red.
