Updating Cross-References in a document

Introduction

If the source content of cross-references is updated, you need to update the cross-references in the current document. For example, if you create a paragraph cross-reference to a heading and then change the heading text, you will need to update the cross-reference in the document containing the cross-reference.

Adobe FrameMaker updates the cross-references in a document automatically every time the document is opened. Alternatively, you can manually update the references in an already opened document. Also, you can prevent FrameMaker from updating the cross-references in a document every time it is opened.

Update the cross-references in a document

1. Choose Edit > Update References.

2. In the Update References dialog, check All Cross-References and click Update.

If FrameMaker cannot resolve the cross-references, the Update Unresolved Cross-References dialog box appears.

Suppress automatic cross-reference updating

By default, Adobe FrameMaker updates the cross-references in a document automatically every time the document is opened.

To stop FrameMaker from updating cross-references when opening a document:

1. Choose Edit > Update References.

2. In the Update References dialog, open the Commands drop-down in the upper right corner and select Suppress Automatic Updating.

3. In the Suppress Automatic Reference Updating dialog, check Suppress Automatic Updating of All Cross-References and click Set.
