Insert a cross-reference to a paragraph in a text inset

Learn how to Insert a cross-reference to a paragraph in a text inset in FrameMaker.

If you insert a paragraph cross-reference to a text inset, the cross-reference marker is sometimes lost when the text inset is updated. To prevent the marker from being lost, first insert a cross-reference to the paragraph in the text inset’s source document.

  1. Open the source of the inset by double-clicking the inset and then clicking Open Source from the Text Inset Properties panel.

  2. Insert a cross-reference to the paragraph anywhere in the source document.

  3. Delete the cross-reference text. The marker remains.

  4. Save the source document, and then in the document that contains the text inset, update the text inset by choosing Edit > Update References.

  5. Insert a spot cross-reference, this time in the document that contains the inset. The cross-reference uses the marker in the updated inset.
