Relink cross-references

If the missing destination text has been moved to a different document, or if the document containing the destination
text is renamed, you can relink the cross-reference. When you relink, any changes made to the source cross-reference
are removed.

1

In the Cross-References panel, select the cross-reference you want to relink.

2

Choose Relink Cross-Reference from the panel menu.

3

Locate the document in which the destination text appears, and then click Open.

If any other destination text appears in that document, you can relink additional cross-references.

Edit cross-references

To change the appearance of the source cross-reference or specify a different format, you can edit the cross-reference.
If you edit a cross-reference that links to a different document, the document is opened automatically.

1

Do any of the following:

• Choose Type > Hyperlinks & Cross References > Cross-Reference Options.

• In the Cross-References panel, double-click the cross-reference you want to edit.

• Select the cross-reference, and choose Cross-Reference Options from the Cross-References panel menu.

2

Edit the cross-reference, and then click OK.

Delete cross-references

When you delete a cross-reference, the source cross-reference is converted to text.

1

In the Cross-References panel, select the cross-reference or cross-references you want to delete.

2

Click the Delete icon, or choose Delete Cross-Reference from the panel menu.

3

Click Yes to confirm.

To completely remove a cross-reference, you can also select the cross-reference source and delete it.

Editing cross-reference source text

You can edit cross-reference source text. The advantage of editing cross-reference text is that you can change tracking
or word spacing as needed for copyfitting, or make other changes. The disadvantage is that if you update or relink the
cross-reference, any local formatting changes are removed.

Interactive web documents for Flash

To create slideshow-type content that can be played in Flash Player, you can export to either SWF or FLA. The main
difference is that SWF files are ready to be viewed and cannot be edited, whereas FLA files must be edited in Adobe
Flash Professional to be viewed in Adobe Flash Player.

SWF

An exported SWF file is ready for viewing in Adobe Flash Player and may include interactive elements such as

page transitions, hyperlinks, movies, sound clips, animation, and navigation buttons.

FLA

An exported FLA file includes only some interactive elements. The FLA file can be opened in Flash Pro, where

you or a Flash developer can add advanced effects before exporting to SWF.
