Cross references in invisible space causing unwanted packaging

I have a document I created an index of carefully mapped using cross-reference page numbers. However, I have a huge problem where the references take up way more space as they should.

Take a look at the following screenshot:

Screenshot-2013-10-10-14.16.01.jpg

Notice how the numbers could easily fit on one line, but they begin to wrap way before they come into contact with the other side of the text block.

It's very frustrating! Can someone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix this problem?

Thank you.

It's very frustrating! Can someone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix this problem?

No and Yes.

No, I have no idea why the normal paragraph for this composer. I reported it as a bug in the past.

Yes, if you go to the universal composer, the bug goes away - the WRC doesn't have this bug. Looks like the normal paragraph composer to think of the variable as longer is it really, as the WRC doesn't have this problem.

  • 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.

  • Problems with cross-references spots

    In FrameMaker 12, I can't reference spots to work, despite the help instructions. I created a cross-reference marker, then created the cross-reference to the marker, but he keeps inserting the entire paragraph and not only words from marker I want.

    For example:

    1. I added a marker of type reference cross to a paragraph in one of my FM files, called "user management".

    2. in another file, I created a link of my marker reference (special > referral source type cross, then selected reference markers my marker)

    3. in the type of format, I select position, which has the definition of < $paratext > as one of the constituent elements.

    Unfortunately, this procedure then inserts the text of the full paragraph, not only the marker text I want.

    I suspect the step 3 is the place where I'm wrong, but the help instructions are not specific on blocks of construction/Formats to use.

    Thank you

    Warren

    If you want to do this type of reference, then using a reference spot will work. Just create a x - ref format that has the text 'Click here for details' properly formatted and the link to the spot-xref.

    If you want to link to a custom text in the paragraph, then it's more complicated, but it can be done [although that may have a building block of $markertext would be the best way to go].

    1. Create a custom color that you will use to create a text 'invisible '. [do something bright that stands out on the page]
    2. Create a paratag for the text of x - ref custm and use this custom color.
    3. Using the color > views, assign this custom color to be invisible and visible in the view 6 in view 1 (default).
    4. Switch to the view 6 (these / 6) so you can see what you are creating.
    5. In the paragraph where you need the custom text spot x - ref, insert a framework anchored with a block of text it contains (better to create on the referring page, so that you can cpy & paste as neeed) value be out column (but adjust so that it sits on top of the exact place that you want to access). Enter the required text using the x - ref paratag.
    6. Change in view 1 to make the x - ref invisible text (these / 1).
    7. You can now make the x - ref to the "custom" text FM still sees the 'invisible' content, even if it never gets when you create the output.
  • Cross references not Visible in Control Panel

    Hi all

    I've been enjoying the feature Cross references in Indesign CS6 to use dynamic text that changes... until very recently.

    When I started to use, references of Cross (CR) would be listed in the Panel links/CR.

    I can create a destination, create a hyperlink to this destination, change it shows (I use the paragraph number) and it works as it should.

    The problem I have is that the CRs are not visible in the cross-reference panel (hyperlinks too by the way)

    This means that I can't change my cross references.

    Does anyone know why don't they show in the control panel? Or y at - it another way to see?

    I need to solve this problem. I tried to reset the preferences I found in other posts, but that did not help

    SOLVED!

    The problem appeared to be with my working space profile. I changed my custom profile for 'For interactive PDF' (which has the hyperlinks) and it worked. All hyperlinks and cross-references show.

    I customized my workspace with the panels I need and then registered a new workspace with the same name. Everything works fine after you save a new profile. I'll take a backup of the workspace file, so I can easily restore it if it happens again.

  • "BOLD" in the character tag does not work in the cross-reference text

    Hello

    I use cross references to introduce pieces of text that are repeated in two chapters. The referenced text includes characters of the text that is defined in a character tag. The chapter where I insert a reference to the text has the same exact character tag in his catalogue of character (I imported the character formats to be sure). But bold disappears in the cross-reference text. Any ideas on how to do bold appear?

    Thank you

    Tami

    Character formats or text attributes caused by Variables seem to be kept on the xref.

    What might work, however, is to put the text in a file external FM and bring it as a Medallion.

  • Hundreds of broken cross-references

    Hi all

    I someone gave some FrameMaker work for me to do.
    Apparently he did ' Save As' on one or two files (documents in the book). "

    Now, all the links (100's of them...) of these files to go places in the book have been destroyed.

    He said open files in Windows Explorer, rather than within the FM Book window, then did "save under", and that it is used for doin it like this when using FM with UNIX.

    Does anyone know what * exactly * caused the links to be destroyed, and if there is a way to get all the back links (apart from the reissue of links one by one...).

    TIA

    If a component file is included in a book, you can change the name of the file within the frame.

    Select the component file in the book, right-click, and select Rename. This process updates the links, cross-references and everything that depends on a relative path to other files.

    It can be used to do it this way, but it's the wrong way to do it in a file of any OS he is accustomed to using.

    You can quite easily get links by remaking the renaming of the right way and then redo the changes.

    If you're very lucky, you can add the files renamed to SaveAs to the book and use the file > links tool.

    You may also be able to get back them by editing in a MIF file version, although if you make a mistake, you're going to corrupt the file format. And you may be able to make the changes with www.frameexpert.com plugin special find/replace Rick Quatro.

  • 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.

  • [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

  • 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.

    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.
