On Dec. 8 2008 Shlomo Perets addressed this issue: "When the cross-reference format uses multiple character formats, the book's Generate/Update function ignores the first one. (This applies to FM5 through FM8). "Workaround: Create a single character format that has all the properties you need, and modify the cross-reference format accordingly." The first character format is the one applied to the text itself. The second is found in the cross-reference format. When you update, the first character format (small caps) is removed.
