2.5.4.1 Creating persistent references to text insets
To cross-reference material in a text inset from a container document so that the cross-reference links survive document updating:
1. Open both the container document and the text-inset file in FrameMaker.
2. From the container document, import the text inset (by reference) at the point where you want the inset to appear.
3. From the container document, use the FrameMaker Cross-Reference dialog to create a cross reference to the appropriate paragraph in the text inset:
3.1. From the Document list, choose the name of the text-inset file (not Current).
3.2. From the Source Type list, choose Paragraph.
3.3. Select the text-inset format and paragraph you want to reference.
3.4. Select the appropriate cross-reference format.
3.5. Click Insert; FrameMaker inserts a cross-reference marker into the text-inset file, in the paragraph you selected.
5. In the container document, use the FrameMaker Cross-Reference dialog to replace the cross reference you created in Step 3:
5.1. From the Document list, choose Current.
5.2. From the Source Type list, choose Cross-Reference Marker. (The marker list shows all the markers in text insets, along with any in the container document.)
5.3. Select the marker for the cross reference you created in Step 3.
5.4. Click Insert; FrameMaker inserts into the container file a cross-reference to the text-inset marker, but with the paragraph properties of the container document.
The resulting cross reference will persist through document updates.
