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.

  • 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.

  • Bug found during the use of references to the control in subVis on Compact RIO?

    Hallo,

    I have a simple task. I want to read higher VI into a Subvi the real value of a control to a level. I want to solve this problem by using a reference to the control.

    I have attached a simplified program that shows this.

    But the problem is now. When I run the main VI on a cRIO-device, the indicator "DataByReference" is not updated with the actual value. Only when I opened during execution of the "RefMain.vi" too, then everything works fine.

    More strange thing is, when I run the VI of hand on the host PC, everything works well, also without having to open the "RefMain.vi" when executing.

    Someone at - it an explanation for this behavior?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Active layer reference as the index when loading external text file

    I have a series of text animations, and I want to be able to load the content of the text for the layer of an eternal file.

    It is referenced in many places (I saw him here external text of Pro video Coalition - Expression Shorts - read the Document by David Torno), and the script is usually as follows:

    try {}

    myPath = "~ / Desktop/source.txt ';

    $.evalFile (myPath);

    eval (thisComp.Name) [0];

    } catch (err) {}

    "MISSING."

    }

    In this case, the layer is always array index-, so I would be able to replace the specific reference to the array index by a reference to the current number of layer. This allows a simple duplication of the expression rather than having to change each term individually for each layer. I think that the property that I need index - but it does not work! Or not the way I use it anyway.

    It is (a) of the terms I've tried

    eval (thisComp.Name) [thisComp.index];

    On layer 9 the error indicates the property! or method named 9 in the Array class is missing etc - so index 9 is interpreted correctly, but I use it wrong.

    Resolved, with the help of this post Re: disorder of the eval expression

    Solution - without the try catch block is as follows (including some debugging... stuff):

    myPath = "~ / Desktop/source.txt ';

    $.evalFile (myPath);

    myLayer = index;

    "result:" + myLayer;

    typeof (myLayer);

    myArray = eval (thisComp.name);

    myArray [myLayer];

  • INDD 6.0.6 give up when I try to delete the reference in the index

    See also http://forums.Adobe.com/message/4263687 for a discussion of the same problem. Ask here, I'm starting a discussion separate from the same issue affecting someone else (me).

    I am running INDD 6.0.6 on OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). I have a document. INDD that is part of a 50-page book. The document includes an index. The index was imported originally from MS Word (from another user, unknown version). I'm rewriting the index, editing and re-release strongly. I recently discovered that the index is a reference without a target. To be clear, I don't know of a reference in the text of the document. It is an index entry, created by new cross-reference... menu item in the Index pane. There is no target, because when you look at it with forwarding options, there is a first-level topic, but the referenced field (below the Type see also) is empty.

    I can't delete this entry. When I try to delete, INDD crashes. When INDD covers, he warns that the document is may be damaged, and if I try to delete it again, INDD breaks down. If I try to change the referenced field, INDD accepts but does not take into account the change (the closing of the shutter, but the remains of the unchanged index).

    My current solution is to change the theme to ZZZ and add a new index entry (ZZZ: corrupt entry: delete this before shipping), but it is less satisfactory. What can I do to remove the corrupted index cross-reference?

    The biggest problem is that even if you and someone from Adobe to be able to actually understand what that is the problem and that it is, in fact, a bug, there's nothing they can do to help you. There won't be any several bug fixes for CS4. My memory is that he had some bugs in indexing in the first version of CS4 and at least some of them are fixed, then you must install the patch...

  • Endnotes in Indesign using cross-references

    Hey all,.

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • Swedish reference in the index, always in the order of the English alphabet

    My Indesign is in English but the text is in Swedish. I can do the headers of the index in the Swedish alphabet, making, correctly, the letters A, O and has come last, but the headers are always classified in English. For example, in Swedish, starting with en subheading would go ahead starting with Fo subheading. But adobe indexing o reads like an o and it highlights the r.

    Is there any help out there or will I cut and paste the index entries? Thank you, Linnea


    Linnea,

    You must set the default language for the document as well. The language applied to text is not serious, but a default language. To set the default language for the document, make sure that nothing is selected (press Shift + Ctrl + A or its Mac equivalent), open the character Panel, then select Swedish. Now your index will sort correctly, no need to do anything with the fields of sort order.

    InDesign behavior is strange here and fix clearly. It's like this:

    = To get the sorted words correctly to their first letter, you must set the header type in the Sorting Options window

    = To get words sorted correctly by the rest of the letters, you must set the default language for the document.

  • Cross-reference to the external link is broken...

    Hi all

    With your help, I was able to establish corss-ref (or hyperlink) to an external document.

    Yesterday, using HyperText (e-mail Client) option, I was able to create a link to an external Document PDF.

    Syntex Client Message: message openfile relative_path

    After you publish a document, a PDF external link works fine.

    But whenI move all files and subfolders to a different location, the LINKS are BROKEN. I haveIf there is a way to fix this?

    Thanks in advance.

    The link works within the FM (hold the button ctrl + alt and click on the link)? If this does not work there, then your path information is not correct. Also, I think you might need to use the path in quotes because of the space in the folder name - FM has a heritage of unix and is a little sensitive on the paths and file names.

    Where the links are pointing to in the PDF file (use the Acrobat link tool > properties when you select the link area)?

  • 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.

  • "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.

  • Cross reference marker text differs from the text on the page

    The text for a cross-reference marker is different from the written text of the page. For example, I have a numbered heading written as "3.1 Cats and Dogs", but the text of cross-reference to this position marker is "55227: title 1: 2.1 pigs and horses." The cross reference looks and works great on the page, but I can't understand why the text of the marker is different, and why it cannot be updated to match the text on the page.

    I use Windows XP and FM9. Thanks in advance.

    Ron,

    The target of a cross-reference marker must have a unique string that differentiates it from any other marker of cross-reference in the file... it is how Frame numbers how when it comes so it can maintain the link and make updates. As you have probably guessed, this string is a concatenation of way random (I think) integer to format BMP target and target the text of TFP at the time of the creation of the xref. With all these settings, it is easy to achieve the goal of a single string.

    It seems appropriate to have this text update during an update of the xref, if something changes in the target. However, this would create two problems:

    -All xrefs that are not being updated at the time wherever the marker is published would be broken. For example, suppose you have xrefs folder has a target and make updates, which modifies the marker of target due to changes to the target. Any xrefs in file B (or any file for that matter) would become broken, because they are still configured to search for the previous string of marker.

    -An update of the xref always you would have to save the changes to the target file, which is an inconvenience at best. For example, if you have made an update of the book and xref target markers have been changed, you'd have to make sure that the files associated with the changes were saved later, otherwise your xrefs update would be broken later.

    So, in summary, the text of the marker is just a unique identifier that is defined during the creation of the xref and necessarily must stay the same for its useful life, unless you want to go around fixing broken xref all the time. Moral of the story... do not put swearing or slandering of boss in your topics like temporary jokes if you never create xrefs their

  • 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
