Endnotes in Indesign using cross-references

Similar Questions

• 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 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:

  

  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.

• "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.

• 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.

• Cross-references in InDesign does not convert the links in the PDF

  Hello

  
  I can't work on any model that... I have a number (75, to be precise) of references in a single InDesign file to other locations within the same file. In InDesign, all work well - I can go from destination to source and vice versa.

  When I export to PDF, about 20% of them (I did not, I'm afraid) jump me to a particular page... page 58 of the 61-page document. They should not. There two correct links to this destination, the rest should go to various other pages. All cross references are using heading styles. I have not used all the bookmarks (if I remember correctly - work has been done some time ago, but has only raised the issue).

  In some cases, there are destinations in the PDF files to the appropriate pages, so I'm fixing this way links. They cannot be the original destinations, because I have more than one destination per page in some cases. In other cases, there is no destination for the page required... they have not been exported, so I'll have to create destinations in the PDF file as well. I noticed that a lot of destinations end with "Anchor xx" (where xx is a number), others are a 5 digit number what is the difference?

  It has been a pain fix these, but will be even worse when the document is updated in a few months... I don't want to have to manually re-create each hyperlink each time. I also wanted to use InDesign for another project, but the files would be updated on a regular basis in this case and if there is a known bug, it would not be an acceptable load.

  Any suggestions? Oh - the graphics are almost all related, and most are anchored frames... don't know if this has an impact, but I noticed when picking topics cross reference that some were (chart) after the title of the topic.

  Thanks in advance,

  
  Alison

  Have you tried recording to the IDML format then regenerate a PDF file of the document cleaned? Any change?

• 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.

• 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:

  

  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.

  

  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.

  

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Cross reference incorrect syntax

  Try to create a partial cross reference text using the suggested code:

  "< fullPara delim =".:” includeDelim=”false”/>

  However, InDesign (DC) gives me a message "invalid syntax".

  Ideas?

  Thank you.

  Uwe,

  You are right that the quote thing is confusing. There are actually two types of quotes in the definitions for the x - Ref.

  The quotes around are regular quotes and can be curly, or German, or guillumets or anything like that. In fact, they do not have to be quotes.

  These quotes are indicators that you want some characters around the text of the full paragraph.

  "But the citations in the delim = building block": "don't go to insert citations in the text. They are in the code of the markers that indicate that what is between the markers (quotations) is the element that will stop to pick up all the text in the partial paragraph.

  It is these quotes that cannot be curled.

  Does make sense?

• 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.

• Cross reference options

  Hello.

  I had a problem with my cross references and I was hoping to get the answer here.

  My problem is:

  When I'm adding a cross-reference in my document and to include the full paragraph, and page number, it says 'paragraph name page XX' most of my documents are in Norwegian, so I wonder if there is a way to chanage the language or phrases (""page "in this example) which are automatically generated by indesign for something in my language?

  Thanks for any help

  Rune

  You can create your own layout for reference.

  In the hyperlinks Panel menu, choose define cross-reference formatting.

  Select the format on the left that you want to redefine. Click on the sign that will duplicate the style and call it [Stylename] 1 +. You can rename it. Now use definition below box to refine the format in Norwegian name. Click OK.

  Now, change your reference to use this new format.

• 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.
