 We are having a problem with cross-references. For some reason, our cross

 It's just ignoring us.
 My coworker is getting very frustrated. Thanks very much for any help!

At the risk of belaboring the obvious: After removing the quotes from the 
definition (in the Edit Cross-Reference dialog and clicking Done, the Update 
Cross-References dialog appears. If you click Cancel instead of Update, and 
then click Done in the Cross-Reference dialog, the xrefs in your doc remain 
unchanged even though the format definition has changed. Could this be what 
happened? If so, importing Cross-Reference formats from the current file should 
fix it. 

When you imported from another manual, did you confirm that the specific file 
in that manual from which you imported had the correct definition? Did you 
import to all the files in the current book?

If those are both dead ends, I'd try creating a new xref format defined as you 
want it to look and doing some testing with it. 

I'm using FM 7.2 right now (so some of the details above may not be exact), but 
I've used FM 9 enough to be fairly confident that xref formats work properly. 
It's hard to believe that some recent update would have broken this 
functionality so badly ...

Sigh. I've developed the bad habit of forgetting the closing parenthesis from 
time to time. This should have begun:

Sorry.
