Correct, still in Frame.

Thanks for your reply, Steve.

What I mean is, if you create an x-ref --> "Installing the Client" on page
82 -- and condition it Print Only. Then update the book file (in Frame) and
show Help Only (i.e. hide Print Only). All or part of the x-ref will become
unconditioned, so you might see only "on page 82" or the whole x-ref.


In our attempt to resolve the issue, we realized that Webworks omits the
page number automatically, so we weren't sure what purpose "HiddenOnline" (a
character style) serves in the x-ref definition created by the designer:

</><HiddenOnline>\`<$paratext><HiddenOnline>\' on page\ <$pagenum></>

As I said, this template is 8 years old. We have never seen this behavior
before and it occurs in one project only. It suggests some kind of file
corruption. I'm not sure if the writer tried porting the content into a
fresh file as a potential fix yet.


Thanks again!
Danny
