• Eratic behavior: book, the main text blocks and Cross References

  I'm on InDesign 2014.2. Mac.

  I'm working on a fairly large book. About 14 chapters / sections, about 400 total pages. There are also hundreds of cross references, almost all of them to anchor references.

  The design of the book is as simple as possible. There is no graphics, text blocks only.

  I use a single master page, with facing pages, and a block of text type. I used it throughout the production of the book, and the primary text flow worked well, chapter after chapter. Pages have been created automatically, and automatically flowed text.

  Maybe I need to change the page size of the book, and I also have a lot of editing to do which will reduce a lot of the chapters. I wanted to make sure all pages use the main text flow to do that, go as gently as possible.

  To my dismay, I discovered that although I used systematically throughout the book master text streams, all but three of my chapters have inexplicably lost their text stream. All images in these chapters have converted into ordinary images. That I edit the book, it's playing havoc with paging and referrals.

  I tried to restore the flow of text in one of the first chapters. It's easy to do, in theory.

  • Move the first page off to the side frame
  • Delete all pages except the first page
  • Command-shift-click on the first page to restore the flow of the main text
  • Copy and paste the contents of the old frame into the primary stream restored.

  
  

  When I do, the pages to move properly, and I'm back to having a chapter with a block of primary text on each page. Unfortunately, this breaks all cross-references that refer to this newly reorganized chapter and all references to the front in this chapter.

  
  

  I tried to do all that I could imagine. Only remove the frames and not pages. Try without the busy book. Nothing works. I tried the command update cross-references in the book menu. Has nothing.

  
  

  It seems impossible to redistribute the text in a new primary master framework, without completely breaking the cross references.

  I finally found something that seems to work:

  • Create a new master page at the end of the document.
  • Go to the last page of the history of the chapter and the last history image a link to the text block type on the page that you just created.
  • In the pages palette, delete all pages in the document, with the exception of the master page that you created.

  All text will be redistributed within the frameworks of masters, and cross-references (to and from the frame) seem to be intact.

• All cross references a new impetus to projects with & #160, text overlays

  I work with RH 9. I produce Webhelp projects based on the FM books.

  This new book is based on the formats and existing projects.

  But one thing is new: there are many inserts of text.

  My problem: the file which includes text inserts corrupted references.

  They are underlined and have good color, but do not work. Each cross reference starts with & #160;

  What can I do? Any work around? Is this a known issue?

  If you can reproduce this behavior with a small model set of content FM, reported as a bug and send the files for the guys of the CHT support.

  Hello

  what you need to do is the following:

  -Open your template (not ESD)

  -define a format of characters (i.e. crosslnk) and change the font color of blue

  -Add the tag in front of both of your cross link formats (number and numbers and text)

  -Save the template and open your documents-> cross links are now blue

  have a nice,

• Cross reference file

  Hello ,.

  I currently create manuals/books wholesale with several files.

  Some information changes to manual; the size of the machine, pipe diameters etc.  That's why I create an xref file I come across all the variations of the machine.  This way I just open an empty file, fill in the information, update book and, usually, the manual is filled.

  This can be a bit hit and Miss however times, and recently I thought it would be better to put all the information cross-reference in a Master Page on each document, this way I can import the variants of all other documents.

  Does this sound right?  What do you do?

  >... to put all the information cross-reference in a Master Page on each document...

  Did you mean reference Page?

  We use RP Xref markers only for content that exists only in a PR of a file of a book.

  For items that need to be represented in multiple files of a book, we use the Variables defined in the first file of the book.

  RP or MP Xrefs become hyperlinks in the PDF file, but go nowhere, a minor problem. VARs became clear PDF.

  Xref markers of multiplication to several files is a matter of concern. You probably don't want replicate them important to MEPs or tr/s. If you paste an xref, it will be in the original file PR and not the current RP file, even if the marker may exist there as well. This can be troublesome to manage.

  The variables are relatively easy to propagate.

  Both are easy to manage, because you can delete those unused by removing all the, then hit [Cancel] when dialogged on those in use.

• Cross references: CS4 CS3

  Background:

  My company group uses InDesign CS3 on Windows XP for about 5% of our needs of document. The low percentage is mainly due to the cost and learning curve issues, but we will not impose to spend more (especially our technical reports) the Word documents on InDesign because of page, numbering and references issues. The documents are graphics heavy, so it's a shame, especially with our 300 + page documents that end in PDF format.

  Question:

  I read that references has been substantially strengthened in CS4. If I use CS4 to put in references and take my paper for my CS3 what's happening?

  Cross references did not exist in CS3. If you bring it to CS3, they will

• Cross-references in the output PDF from Framemaker: how to center the Pages?

  I think I understand quite well the functioning of cross-references in Framemaker, but one thing that bothers me, it's how, when you generate a PDF from Framemaker file and clicking on a reference, the resulting page view locates the cross at the top of a page reference marker.

  It's very annoying and confusing when, say, referring to a figure of legend that appears at the bottom of a page. Page display that results when such a reference in a PDF document after Center the text of the _following_ page, with the text of the legend of the barely visible figure at the top of the page.

  My question: is it possible to build cross references that show the page, when you click in a PDF document, is centered on the page that displays the cross-reference material?

  Thank you very much.

  JMW

  Not AFAIK in FrameMaker.

  But in Acrobat, set the initial view one Page instead of continuous.

  File > properties > Initial View.

  

  Two upward (direction) and two up (cover Page) would also work.

• 6 InDesign cross-references cause mysterious line breaks

  In a paragraph with several cross references (7), 6 InDesign, the scrolling text to the next line, apparently without reason, even if there is room for the text on the same line.

  Here is my example:

  At the end of line 1): when I do a link to Unit 52, it makes the word 'article' drop down to the next line, even if there is room for it. (And also with 19, 22, when they are turned into links, they fall down.) If I remove the reference cross on "52" the word return upward on the same line.

  (1) animated and inanimate. This distinction affects how we use articles and verbs so we talk about in most of the units on the verbs and articles, but amongst the

  other places in the following units: 17, 19/B, 19/C, 21/B, 22/A, / 22B and 22 c /, / 23 c, 27 (used as an object), 52 (summary of articles).

  So after I created the 7th cross references, like this line breaks:

  (1) animated and inanimate. This distinction affects how we use articles and verbs so we talk about in most of the units on the verbs and articles, but amongst the

  other places in the following units: 17, 19/B, 19/C, 21/B, 22/A, / 22B and 22 c /, / 23 c, 27 (used as an object), 52 (summary of)

  Articles).

  It seems that 6 InDesign can't manage a number of cross-references in a single line.

  Have you ever seen this happen? Do you know what to do about it?

  Thanks for any input and help!

  I've seen it happen. I also posted about it here, and introduced a bug report, but I have not tested to see if it is still present in the CC of InDesign post-CS6 versions. Cross-references can cause goofy cloth, implausible, in conditions that I can't identify. However, your text will probably compose as you expect if you pass the composer of normal paragraph to the paragraph universal composer.

• [CS6] Lot of rebinding of cross-references

  Hello

  I technical manuals for a long time, distribute the books in separate documents. Each document includes indicators to show the product and language, for example, 'ProA-Intro-ENG' for the English version of the ProA product.

  Then I send the documents to my translators, and the document takes a name like 'ProA-Intro-FRE"for the French version.

  Later, I adapt my hardware to product B, then change the names "ProB-Intro-ENG" and "ProB-Intro-REF.

  Cross-references are always broken. Contrary to the image that connects, I can just use a command to 'Recreate a link to the folder', or select a target file and to have the target of cross reference automatically included relinked. Cross-references need to be rebuilt everything manually.

  Do you know any solution to avoid all this work? Shouldn't be much easier?

  Paolo

  I found a solution! The order of reference to re-edit the link in the pane hyperlinks is not reserved for the selected cross reference. On the contrary, it becomes available when no item is selected in the pane.

  After choosing this command, you are asked to select the documents of the target, one after the other. The references are updated batch for each target document.

• Several cross-reference Formats

  Hello

  I have a document with figures and notes. I use paragraph styles to dial my digits. I do the same with another style of paragraph numbering my notes.

  So sometimes I add cross-references in the text of a link to the image. (So if I add an image somewhere in the document, all the following numbers of the figures will be updated and I can update references in the text with the command "update cross-references".

  (Basic on the numbering and references stuff can be found here: tutorial InDesign: automatic update of the references listed for books: lynda.com - YouTube)

  Now I can use the "Cross Reference Format" option in "Edit the cross-reference" Pop Up.

  If I click on the little feather I can choose a character to the cross-reference style. So far everything is ok.

  (See images)

  But now I want to have a different format of cross reference, every time I refer to a note (then I want something with an exponent). If I refer to an image, I want the italic text, but not exposing.

  If I change the format of the cross-reference to a single reference, it will change the format for all references.

  Y at - it any way I could use reference formats?

  Thanks for help.

  See you soon

  

  

  Ok. I just discovered. I thought I have just the options that are given by default.

  These are for example "numbering". But I can add another in the left column of the second screenshot. By Cross Reference Format I can use different character styles.

• I want to add tab stops to the cross-reference format to make my OCD, a solution of a single click, but the format never comes out right and using the tab key in the window of the dialog box to move the cursor to the next window.

  When you try to format my references I would add tab stops so that the format for the TOC works with the cross reference.  For example my format on the pages of reference is

  < $chapnum > - < $paranumonly > < $paratext > < $chapnum > - < $pagenum >

  With tab stops before the chapnum, between paranumonly and paratext and the next chapnum.  If the final result should look like

  4-16 speed vertical digital - primary Mode... 4-28

  Help?

  In the reference page, add a \t where you want a tab to be, i.e. \t<$chapnum>-<$paranumonly><$paratext>\t \t<$chapnum>-<$pagenum>

  Then, make sure that the format of paratag has the tabs tab placed at the correct locations.

  When you re - generate the table of contents, you should get the desired effect.

• help on cross Reference Type indesign

  Hi you

  I have a question. Is it possible does not show the number of the page where the reference is in the same page? in a sample is attached. Thank you very much! It's really important... pls let me know. Andrea Imbrosciano

  

  Hello Andrea, if you delete the text you are referencing, the cross reference will show as 'broken' in the Panel cross references. At this point, you can navigate to the reference, using the icons in the lower left corner of the Panel and to remove the reference. About changing the order of multiple references, they will appear in the order in which you create them. If I understand what you're trying to do, you want to combine, or concatenate almost references. (See tab 10, tab.11 and tab 12) on page 102. You need to play with the cross-reference formats to see if you can get the results of your search of. I did in the past, but usually end upward with a kind of workaround. There is no easy way to refer to multiple text boxes.

• specify the format of the cross-reference in read/write rules?

  How can I specify a cross-reference in the rules format of reading/with import xml document?

  Gary,

  If you want all occurrences of the xref element to use the same format, you can specify the format of an InitialObjectFormat rule in ESD or use a rule r/w in the form:

  element 'figref.

  {

  is part of fm of reference;

  format FM property reference value is "Figure."

  }

  If you want to use different formats and have a particular element to specify that one, you can set an attribute whose value is the name of format with a rule like:

  "xref" element

  {

  is part of fm of reference;

  attribute ' xref-fmt' is the formula of property reference fm;

  }

  In fact, if your DTD defines an attribute called 'format', default FM it uses for this purpose.

• Duplicate copy of the existing system caused emails

  Hello

  I would use the VSM API to automate certain tasks.  We use so integrated security to use the API I need to create a new system that is a copy of an existing system. However it resulted in double sending emails and had to be removed. How to create a copy of an existing system of the MSM to have duplicate emails are not sent?

  Thank you

  You can disable polling for a particular system (for example the second system used for the API) by creating the registry key on your server:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EMC\Ionix Service Manager\System2]

  'PollingDisabled' = '1 '.

  Keep in mind that the path of the registry for 64-bit systems is slightly different:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\EMC\Ionix Service Manager\System2]
