Re: Find all cross-references to a certain target

["Carol J. Elkins" <celkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe Fred was asking how to determine if a marker is an active 
cross-ref target BEFORE it is deleted so that he doesn't have to fix 
hundreds of unresolved cross-references. I, too, would like to know how to 
determine if a target marker is still being used and how to clear a 
document of unused target markers once I determine that they are no longer 
needed. Is there a script or a plug-in available?
