Does anyone know? I guess you mean finding text within a cross-reference instance, such as the word "Text" in the x-ref "see 'Whatever Text in a Heading' on page 99"? No, this cannot be done by the search function built into FM. You would have to use one of the following methods: * temporarily converting all cross-refs to text and search the resulting document (double-click an x-ref, Convert to Text, All cross-references) * write a FrameScript (if you have FrameScript) * use a 3rd-party plug-in (if there is one; I don't know any) * save to MIF and search all <String> statements in the document body (on UNIX: sed -n "/<TextFlow/,$ p" file.mif | egrep '<String .*text') - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thomas Michanek, [Michagon], Linkoping, Sweden Documentation Consultant, FrameMaker/UNIX expert EMAIL: mailto:Thomas.Michanek@telia.com WWW: http://go.to/framers , or go directly to: http://w1.133.telia.com/~u13304072/framers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Subscribe to Omni System's "Free Framers" list: send an email to majordomo@omsys.com with "subscribe framers" in the body ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
