Thanks to Bill and Grant for their comments. I was able to make this work by adding a new tab stop with a leader in the bulleted paragraph format in which the link resides, and by adding a /t tab stop in the x-ref itself. I did not think that tweaking the bulleted paragraph format itself would

Is it possible to put a tab stop in a cross-reference? For example, I want my <$paratext>, page <$pagenum> x-ref to have a tab stop (and leader) in front of the word "page". This is not my formatting preference, but a request from someone who uses our docs a great deal to train others. Than

For the first time ever, I am finding that frame is, on its own, changing the application of master pages. About once a day, I find that frame assigns the "first" master page to a page which most definitely did have "left/right" assigned to it. If I re-assign the correct master page to the 5 o
