That Could account for a lot of the problems with x-refs as page numbers definitely would be off. I will recreate the PDF from the complete ODT and see what that yields, and then start tearing the chapter files apart again if it does not help the other problems. Thank yoiu so much for all your help. It has been greatly appreciated through my admittedly rough indoctrination into the area copy editing. Regards Keith Rega On Wed, 29 Jun 2022 at 04:12 Keith N.

Re: Formatting and other errors in Getting Started Guide
I was looking at the PDF in the ForWiki folder, which I assume was exported from the ODT. This may be related to a bug years ago that caused some books compiled using an ODM to have x-ref problems. That bug may still be lurking. For years I compiled books by copy-and-paste instead of using an ODM, to avoid this bug. Of course it could be something else causing the problems.
