Re: Vanishing X-Refs - Reply

You've probably zeroed in on the actual problem being encountered by the
originator of this thread, Craig, although I noticed that, in V4 at least,
it was being caused by something else intermittently. That's why I
originally went to the use of a variable. I found that method to be better
anyway (among other reasons because you no longer have to worry about the
cross-ref marker being wiped out), so I never checked later versions to see
if the bug had been fixed.

only time we have problems is when the cross-ref source marker on the
coversheet is inadvertantly deleted. To help prevent this we inserted a
space between the marker and the dummy title in our coversheet template.
These xrefs survive hundreds of regenerates.
