phantom cross-ref

  1. Default phantom cross-ref

    My doc has auto number heading styles. I go to create a cross ref link to a level 3 heading and I see one entry that I did not create and can't find with the Find/Change feature. I select the word, go to Special->Cross Reference on the menu bar, and it lists my valid heading 3s, plus this weird one, as follows:
    1.1.1 Valid Heading
    1.1.2 Valid Heading
    1.1.1 nn.,mn,
    1.4.1 Valid Heading
    1.4.2 Valid Heading

    Does the "nn.,mm," entry look like something I can find and eliminate? Thanx for any help you may provide.

    Have you tried creating a TOC, then using the hypertext to go to and delete the mystery heading.

    Cheers,

    Hi, Billy:

    It's probably on a master page, in a text frame that has a flow tag, like Flow: A, so the contents don't appear on a body page, but the reference marker does show in the cross-reference dialog box.

    Try the find on master pages.

    The phantom cross refs (there are more than the one I pointed out) cant seem to be found on the master pages. I did a find for "all cross references" and none of them showed up. Is there another way to find them? They definitely do not show up in the TOC. I mentioned the one in my level 3, but I just found one in level 2 and another in level 1:
    Heading2:
    1.1 - Valid
    1.1 - L;KLKJIKI
    1.2 - Valid

    Heading 1:
    Section 1.0 - Valid
    Section 1.0 - SFSFSDF

    Could they be in the Reference Pages?

    I answerd my own question, I just found them in the Reference pages, duh on me.

    Hi, Billy:

    Good deal!

    Just to be clear, you probably found paragraphs on the reference pages whose Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. tags appear in the cross-reference dialog box, when you choose the paragraph format type. This is normal. They are not cross-references; they are paragraphs that you could point to as cross-reference sources.
