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

you go!

  • Cross-references and pulling exactly the text you need

    Hello, my question today concerns the references.

    My problem with the referral system is that, in its present form, it can be quite rigid. Essentially, I need only a small amount to be drawn from the cross reference which is nt specific anywhere in the paragraph of the text.

    My first idea was to develop a format that would be part of a paragraph ONLY text that has a style CrossRefNo character called (in my case), which is just a character style empty developed purely for this purpose. However when you use the

    < name cs = "" > < / CS > definition its plain enough that it is not infact extract text which is a certain CStyle but rather the text found in a certain formatting style (which seems a little redundant next to the button below which gives you the ability to apply a character style to the reference). So if you only use this format unless you type something in the field, it will produce no real text.

    I'm looking for is essentially the objects they used to build the formatting code cross references.  If they have already available from 10 items or if it is extremely restrictive.  Is there a type of < foundText = theTextWithinThisParaThatIsFormatedWithThisCharacterStyle = "CrossRefNo" > < / found text >

    Thank you! and please let me know if it belongs to another jurisdiction.

  • 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

    Cross Reference Type indesign.png

    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.

  • Copy of an existing spec - cross references

    Hello

    Is there a configuration that would change the behavior of a copy of the spec to see cross references of origin? When we make a copy, it erases the cross-references, we change it.

    Thank you

    David

    No, there is no configuration that controls this.

  • Why my Panel references altho don't use explicit names for each cross-reference in the list?

    Creating a catalog.

    I've defined two 'the hyperlink destination' and using them as "cross references" in my table of contents.

    I'll add many of the cross-references more soon, but I need the Panel cross-references to the list of people with meaningful names, so I can find and edit easily.

    Otherwise, I might be better off just update numbers manually when the catalog is updated (yuck).

    Is there a way to Cross reference panel to use meaningful names without using the name in the visible text on the page?

    Here's what I mean:

    prptz.PNG

    Just a sign dang sharp, since the format of my cross references simply entered a page number on the page.

    How can I know who is who? I don't. I need more information in the Panel references Cross.

    If I add some text to the definition of the format of the cross-reference, it is visible on the page, BUT it also added cross-references to the Panel.

    namesadded.PNG

    Close, but no cigar.

    I can't leave anything other that the corresponding page number appears on the page.

    Any ideas?

    I decided to believe there is no solution to the Panel Cross references give me a more explanatory list.

    At least I can highlight the text Variable in the doc and the Destination of the respective hyperlink is highlighted in the cross-reference panel. This will have to do.

  • Decompression of a stream of cross-reference with Params.

    I'm losing my mind trying to unpack this stream.  I already asked everyone and am not having much luck with it. It is a stream of cross-reference with decode them params.

    I used an external library to decompress and for some reason, the just xref streams cannot be decoded.  I noticed that software designed to decompress the pdf like quick Pdf files, etc. of VeryPdf decompress all water courses but these.  So there must be something more on the output of these that I don't understand.

    A common error message would be that the flow cannot be displayed because it contains binary data.  Very strange. Clues.
