Hyperlinks in Acrobat not present?

[Linda G. Gallagher]

Yes, that is precisely why we did this. We (Tammy Van Boening) and I
developed this method to work on docs in her previous job to resolve the
exact issue you mention, xrefs to and from text insets.

You can find details in our supplemental handout here:

Will that work with cross-references in text in imported documents (imported
by reference, not copied into the document) too?

BTW, I call these imports "text insets", although I am not sure if that is
what people mean by this term (in all the Framers List stuff I have seen so
far).
