Well...more like "assuming they're connected to the problem".

Only the unresolved cross-refs...with links that go nowhere because the 
offending cross-refs are hidden.

As I now find, for the first time ever.  At first, the TOC and the IDX files 
were giving unavailable font errors which I fixed by the recommended method.  
The problem fonts (Courier and Times) aren't used in the book at all - they 
were inherited from the original templates and I've never been able to kill 
them.

One other angle on the conditions is that the setup was previously on 32-bit 
WinXP, whereas now it's on 64-bit Win 7 on upgraded hardware.  I haven't built 
the big book on this setup.

I think I'm just going to have to push on until I get a breakthrough.

Kia ora!
Helen
