Cross-references
If you’re writing a manual or reference document, you may want to include a cross-reference to refer the reader from
one part of your document to another. Example: For more information, see “Field mice” on page 249. You can
specify whether a cross-reference derives from a paragraph style, such as a heading style, or from a text anchor you’ve
created. You can also determine the cross-reference format, such as Page Number Only or Full Paragraph & Page
Number.
Insert cross-references
Use the Hyperlinks panel to insert cross-references into your document. The text being referred to is the destination
text. The text that is generated from the destination text is the source cross-reference.
When you insert a cross-reference in your document, you can choose from several predesigned formats, or you can
create your own custom format. You can apply a character style to the entire cross-reference source, or to text within
the cross-reference. Cross-reference formats can be synchronized across a book.
Cross-reference source text is editable and can break across lines.
Note: Cross-references are included in exported Adobe PDF files if Hyperlinks is selected in the Export Adobe PDF dialog
box in InDesign. Cross-references are included in the exported SWF file if Include Hyperlinks is selected in the Export
SWF dialog box.
