After inserting an "xref", the first thing that you need to do is to specify a value for required attribute "linkend". It is the "linkend" attribute which specifies ``the place you want to link to''. This required attribute is displayed in a bold font and has "???" as its initial value. From what you say, I understand that, instead, you have specified a value for attribute "id" (all DocBook elements, including "xref" have an "id" attribute). > The text I set up that ID for is no longer anything I want to have > available in the list of IDs to select from when creating links, but I > can't see how or those IDs can be deleted. This list of IDs is built automatically by scanning the whole document and this, each time you'll press the "List of Values" button. If you want to remove an ID from this list, simply remove attribute "id" from the element having that unwanted ID (or delete the whole element). (In my previous answer, I have explained how to remove an attribute from an element.) --- PS: Please excuse me if I still do not understand your problem.
