Choose Window > Type & Tables > Cross-References, and then choose Insert Cross-Reference from the
Hyperlinks panel menu.
•
Click the Create New Cross-Reference button
in the Hyperlinks panel.
3 In the New Cross-Reference dialog box, choose Paragraph or Text Anchor from the Link To menu.
If you choose Paragraph, you can create a cross-reference to any paragraph in the document you specify.
If you choose Text Anchor, you can create a cross-reference to any text in which you have created a hyperlink
destination. (See “
Create a hyperlink destination
” on page 529.) Creating a text anchor is especially useful if you want
to use different text than the actual destination paragraph.
4 For Document, select the document containing the destination that you want to refer to. All open documents that
have been saved are listed in the pop-up menu. If the document you’re looking for isn’t open, choose Browse, locate
the file, and then click Open.
5 Click a paragraph style (such as Head1) in the left box to narrow down the choices, and then select the paragraph
you want to refer to. (Or, if Text Anchor is selected, choose the text anchor.)
6 Choose the cross-reference format you want to use from the Format menu.
You can edit these cross-reference formats or create your own. See “
7 Specify the appearance of the source hyperlink. See “
8 Click OK.
When you insert a cross-reference, a text anchor marker appears at the beginning of the destination paragraph. You
can view this marker when you choose Type > Show Hidden Characters. If this marker is moved or deleted, the cross-
reference becomes unresolved.
Using cross-reference formats
Several cross-reference formats appear in the New Cross-Reference dialog box by default. You can edit these formats,
delete them, or create your own.
Note: If you’ve deleted or edited cross-reference formats in your document and want to return them to the default formats,
you can choose Load Cross-Reference Formats from the panel menu and choose a document with unedited formats. You
can also synchronize cross-reference formats in a book.
