Re: Cross refs change from 'paragraph' to 'cross reference'

["Rick Quatro" <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Hedley,

This is not the case, at least with FrameMaker 6. When you change the
paragraph format of the source paragraph and update the cross-references,
FrameMaker still sees it as a paragraph cross-reference. It correctly lists
it in the cross-reference dialog box under its current paragraph tag.

I haven't followed this thread too closely, but I don't think
cross-references ever change from paragraph to spot. This is what APPEARS to
happen when you double-click on an UNRESOLVED paragraph cross-reference. The
cross-reference dialog box will list cross-reference markers instead of
paragraphs. Once the cross-reference is resolved (if it can be) it will
again list the source paragraph tag and paragraph when you double-click on
it.

For you FrameScript users, I am preparing a tutorial on inserting both
paragraph and spot cross-references with FrameScript. I will post an
announcement when it is up on my web site. Thanks.
