With help from Winifried and Rick, I finally figured out what the
problem was and why I couldn't select text within a cross-reference
so that I could annotate it. What was not pointed out in anyone's
instructions is that you must have the I-beam/Arrow tool selected as
the default tool.
Hi Carol,
With no commenting tool selected, I can strike through text in the
middle of a cross-reference.
When I move the cursor over a cross-reference, then the cursor
changes to the hand cursor. Then I press the left mouse button
and move the i-beam across part of the cross-reference. The text
Hi Winifried,
I'm not sure why this works for you and not for me. I am simply
unable to select specific text within a paragraph that is a
cross-reference. If you are willing, I'll take this off-line and

Hi Carol,
