Cross reference options

• Can I change a cross-reference without having view to recreate it?

  When the cross refer to the numbers on the same page, I leave the cross point to unique reference numbers ("see view 25"). When it is on another page, I use the paragraph and page numbers ("see 25 page 34"). But when my text changes, sometimes text moves, sometimes move the images and I need to change the cross-reference. It's quite annoying, I have to old rmeove and create a new one in the hunt for the removal of a list of 150 or more.

  Is there a simpler way? For example, put the insertion point in the cross reference, then an easy way to choose a different look?

  There is reference to updated and re-issued reference of choice in the hyperlinks Panel menu. Have you tried those? You can also change the formatting of a reference in Cross Reference Options.

• 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.

• Preservation of cross-references from XML

  Hi all

  I am back and forth of structured Frame in XML format and can not figure out how to do FM restore my cross reference targets.

  My edd shows the < xref > element like this:

  Element (reference): xref

  List of attributes

  1. name: XrefTarget IDReference optional

  The DTD has been generated by the framework of ESD and shows the following < xref > definition:

  <! Xref ELEMENT EMPTY >
  <! ATTLIST Xref XrefTarget IDREF #IMPLIED
  format CDATA #IMPLIED
  srcfile CDATA #IMPLIED >

  Read/write rules should not be held, but after that it did not work without specific rule, I've included this one:

  element 'xref' {}

  is part of fm of reference;

  the 'XrefTarget' attribute is fm property reference identifier;

  'format' attribute is the reference property fm formula;

  }

  The XML output (with or without the rules of read/write, which doesn't seem to make a difference) show this:

  < xref format = 'NumberRef '.
  srcfile = ".. ' / RepGeneral.FM #t - replace - reactive - rotor '/ >

  The @srcfile is generated by the framework. What is worrying is that @XrefTarget is not here. And indeed, when I read the XML code in frame, < xref > comes with the correct format but no content in its @XrefTarget. I tried everything and I'm just a little upset by default so-called intelligent behavior of the image. I don't want to enter the API programming, I want to just framework to do what it claims to do by default. If I need to make changes to the ESD rules or read/write, I'll do it, but I'm not finding useful information on what is expected exactly here.

  Anyone?

  Thank you very much in advance

  Jang
  

  Looks like I'm the only one doing this?

  In any case, I tried all sorts of things and stumbled upon the solution: the attribute XrefTarget in the DTD, which is supposed to be of type IDREF is completely ignored by framework. Instead, the combined value of the source and ID file that points to the cross reference is written in the srcfile attribute. And the funny thing is: when I change the XrefTarget to CDATA attribute, all of a sudden, it is used for reference instead of the attribute srcfile. I do not see this reflected in the documentation anywhere, but it works, so I'm happy with that.

  Ciao again.

• Endnotes in Indesign using cross-references

  Hey all,.

  I'm trying to follow this tutorial using the endnotes in indesign:

  http://blogs.Adobe.com/indesigndocs/2009/03/endnotes_in_indesign_cs4.html

  In what it suggests, what appears in the document ends up being the full note:

  1 Salmerón, Loren The Diet Guide New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2002, page 56

  so that everything that I want to make is:

  1

  In his case, he could just make "1" appears. I note under reference dialogue format, his example shows "end note paragraph number. There is no option for me. Anyone know what it does I'm not understand?

  Thanks for the reply.

  Looks like this tutorial for step 4 details omitted the details of creating a cross-reference format. Click on the pencil icon indicated by a red circle in the screenshot of the dialog new references to open the cross-reference Formats dialog box, where you can create or edit cross-reference formats. Select the paragraph number in the list of formats provided by InDesign, then click on the '+' to paragraph number in double under the number of paragraph (1). Replace the note at the end of paragraph number name, as in the tutorial, or any name you like. Enable (check) for reference character Style, choose the style of characters superscript, you created as described in step 2.

  The "" notation in the reference format dialog box captures only the part of subsection the reference point to auto-numerotees. In your example above, it is supposed to be "1".

  Google search for terms like "InDesign create cross-reference formats", without the quotes, if you need more information about the several subtasks of reference mentioned here and in the tutorial.

• Changing the text that appears in a cross reference

  Hi, I'm kind again in this cross reference something set and I'm doing something that doesn't work, I tried a few things and did some research but nothing has really helped me.

  So I work in a book, and we have several exercises (exercise 4.1.4.2, 4.x and so on) that works with the ball and the numbering style. We refer to them in the text, so I wanted to my reference to say "(do l'exercice X à la page XX) but when I link the cross reference, since the original exercise is written with a letter from cap (year X) well, he wrote"making the exercise page XX X) "

  I read that we cannot force in small character in ID (hoped to apply a simple character style) so there at - it another way to make this work?

  I can change it manually, but then it appears a conflict in the Panel cross references

  To make it more simple, I just want the exercise automated 4.X to write exercise 4.X, is it possible?

  Otherwise, I will pray for a "tiny" for CS6 style option...

  Thanks in advance

  

  I don't do much with the refs (tried it out on the last project, however), but I think your problem is that you must change the type of anchor text anchor point, you need to create from hyperlinks context menu > new Destination of the hyperlink...

• Using cross-references in the index?

  I was wondering if there are any suggestions out there for using cross-references in the index.
  
  I don't think you use the option 'see also' is what I'm looking for; what I want to do is to create index with a cross next to them reference entries.
  
  I tried this by creating an entry index and typing (see "another name of the topic") next to it, but when I compiled the project that this index entry has not been included because I do not have a subject entrusted to him.
  
  Is it possible to create an index entry of reference without an assignment of subject? Or are there other workaround solutions that you use?

  Index of cross-references are designed to allow you to have keywords in the index when you click on redirect the user to another keyword. For example I use for acronyms to redirect users to the long version. You are subject cross references within the project? If so, you may not use the index of references by indexing the same way? If the cross-reference you want is outside the project, using the index is not the way I would say. Why not use a link in a topic to a URL, file, etc. You may be able to do what you want with a redirection topic, but I haven't looked into this. Come back with more details if I leave the brand.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Create a new edition of a book with updated cross-references

  I want to create a new edition of a book that has many files component (chapters), but keep the old one intact. The files of the components have many cross references. Is it possible to easily all these cross references updated to their new location?

  Unfortunately, no, for references interfile since links are absolute and will always point to the original files until you change them.
