Sorry, should have been more specific. When you are in the Fields dialog, Cross-references tab, there is a section at bottom and to avoid the final dot, you can use the Insert reference to: Chapter or use the Reference entry (to avoid the numbering).

Hope this clarifies. Adam Yes. That helps - needless to say I was using a simple page xref. Taking a novice's look, I see that the cross-reference format seems to take the exact same format as the list label - so a label with a dot has a dot in the cros-reference, one with a ) has a ), and so on. If you use a list label format without a dot, the cross-reference doesn't have one either. Actually, thinking about it, this looks correct behaviour - if the list entry is labelled 'XyzzY' then the cross-reference should also say 'see XyzzY' or whatever, so if there's a dot..... Anyway, you can change the list labels with the stylist (F11, select (probably) all styles, pick the relevant numbering one, and head for options. Best can do.

I have quickly checked the help and can see anything about "cross reference insertion" or "context and separator" and sadly because of time constraints to get this job out today unless the suggestion is very specific I don't have time at the moment to do much searching but will come back to all this when I do have more time. Thanks for your help and understanding. Adam
