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.
