Phantom Unresolved Cross-reference in Frame 7.1 Book

  1. Default Phantom Unresolved Cross-reference in Frame 7.1 Book

    Every time I 'Update Book', I get an 'Unresolved Cross Reference' error report for one of the chapters. But, when I run a 'Find: Unresolved Cross-references' on the whole Book, it never finds any.
    If I save the book as a PDF, all the x-refs work perfectly, so I don't think the error is real.
    How can I get rid of this phantom error?

    Make sure to open all files in the book first.
    Then you'll see any warning or error messages that will affect
    the "silent open" being performed when all files are closed.
    Correct any problems such as missing fonts.

    If you've got conditional text and a hidden cross-refernce to text that's also hidden, you'll get a spurious error when you update. You can't get rid of it, but it's safe to ignore it.

    Be sure to search the Master and Reference pages separately-- a normal search doesn't touch them.

    Geoff:

    I get an 'Unresolved Cross Reference' error report for one of the chapters.

    Each unresolved cross reference listed in the pop-up report box is a clickable link.

    Try this: Click a link to go to the location of the unresolved cross reference; immediately after being taken there, press DELETE to delete the x-ref marker…(?)

    Cheers & hope this helps,
    Riley

    Other option is to open the chapter in question and use the find to locate the unresolved cross reference. There seems to be a bug in FM that if you find an unresolved cross reference and fix it, then do an File>update references, the same unresoled cross reference appears. Proof is the paragrapg tag is now cross reference markers. One of the fixes is to do a Update book. Seem to see this happeneing more in v7.2
