------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Apr 25 09:26:16 -0700 2006 ------- Cross-references to footnotes resolve correctly in text documents. However, if that text document is then used in another text file, as a linked section, or is linked to a master document, then the cross-references do not resolve correctly unless the linked section is the first linked section in the file or master document because that section is updated first. However, if the linked section appears other than in the first section then cross-references only resolve correctly to the "first footnote in the section" + 1 OR to the "last cross-referenced footnote + 1" For instance, if I have 5 footnotes in linked section #2, and I have no previous cross-reference in that section. And I now insert a cross-reference, after footnote number 5, to the same footnote number 5, then in the text document it will appear correctly. However, in the linked section in the master document it will resolve to a cross-reference to "footnote number 2" because NO previous cross-references were entered in that section (i.e. the reference = first footnote in the section +1 = 2). Thus the link is to actual footnote #2 rather than footnote #5 as it should be. However, its much more complicated and insidious than that because it appears somehow, the cross-reference information is saved with the file. If I would have, during previous editing, inserted a cross-reference to footnote #3 and then subsequently deleted the cross-reference, then the cross-reference that is resolved when I insert the cross-reference to footnote #5 then would have resolved to a cross-reference to footnote #4 in the master document even though it appears correct in the sub-document. (i.e., last cross-referenced footnote = 3 + 1 = 4) The workaround, I think (appears to work at the moment) for this is to insert a cross-reference for every footnote and then delete the ones you don't want. The problem in master documents and text documents with linked sections only appears after the first section unless the second (or subsequent) section is manually updated prior to manually updating the first section. In which case the cross-references in the section first updated will be correct and incorrect in the sections updated later (I think - still need to make sure of that). This problem has been around since at least version 1.1.3 in the Windows XP versions that I'm aware of and I've been trying since then to come up with a workaround that doesn't corrupt the cross-references in master documents. There are numerous other issues that have addressed this issue previously as well as in discussions about it in the forums. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
