Hi David Well, if it works it's probably okay. The only thing that worries me is that you may have problems maintaining it long-term.
The general advice is to avoid overrides. But I'd better define what "override" actually means: it's formatting applied to part or all of a paragraph by some method other than a character tag. For example, you can apply an override by changing something in the paragraph designer and clicking the Apply button, or by using the bold toolbar button. This is a bad idea because it makes it harder to update a format globally. Changing the formatting by applying a named character tag is fine. But if the changed formatting applies to all words in every heading at that level, you'd be better off just updating the paragraph tag (through the paragraph designer) and removing the character tag / override from all of them. Hope this helps!

So I went in and applied the same character format to the cross-refs that functioned correctly..... and it worked, was this correct method.

Even if they look the same as the others, it's possible someone applied a character tag and then overrode that character tag to make the headings look right. If they have, FM could be displaying the xref including the character tag.

I have document with multiple cross references to various headings in a multi chapter document. For some reason a few of my cross references linked to headers have a larger font size than the rest, yet others with the same heading link are correct. I have tried relinking, but when I regenerate these delinquent cross reference appear. Why is this happening to me?
