In InCopy, you can import cross-reference formats only in standalone documents. You cannot import formats from an InCopy document into an
InDesign document. If the new or modified format in InCopy conflicts with a format in the InDesign document when the story is checked in, the
InDesign format takes precedence.

1. Choose Load Cross-Reference Formats from the Cross-References panel menu.

2. Double-click the document containing the cross-reference formats you want to import.

You can also share cross-reference formats across documents by synchronizing a book.

Delete cross-reference formats

You cannot delete a cross-reference format that has been applied to cross-references in the document.

1. In the Cross-Reference Formats dialog box, select the format you want to delete.

2. Click the Delete Format button

.

Manage cross-references

When you insert a cross-reference, the Hyperlinks panel indicates the status of the cross-reference. For example, icons indicate if the destination
text appears on the pasteboard , a master page

, a hidden layer , in overset text

, or in hidden text . Cross-references that link to such

destination areas are unresolved. The panel also lets you know if the destination paragraph has been edited

(also called out-of-date) or is

missing

. Destination text is missing if either the destination text or the file containing the destination text cannot be found. Hold the mouse

pointer over any icon to view a tool tip description.

In InCopy, you can manage cross-references only if the story is checked out for editing.

Update cross-references

An update icon indicates that the cross-reference destination text has changed or that the cross-reference source text has been edited. You can
easily update the cross-reference. If the destination moves to a different page, the cross-reference is updated automatically.

When you update a cross-reference, any formatting changes you’ve made to the source text are removed.

When printing or outputting, you are notified if cross-references are out of date or unresolved.

You can also use the Preflight panel to notify you when cross-references are out of date or unresolved. When defining a profile, select Cross-
References in the Text section. See Define preflight profiles.

1. Select one or more out-of-date cross-references. To update all cross-references, make sure that none are selected.

2. Do any of the following:

Click the Update Cross-References button

in the Cross-References panel.

Choose Update Cross-Reference from the Cross-References panel menu.

Choose Type > Hyperlinks & Cross-References > Update Cross-Reference.

To update all cross-references in a book, choose Update All Cross-References from the book panel menu. You are notified if any cross-references
remain unresolved.
