Broken xrefs -- how to avoid

[Art Campbell]

Without knowing more about your environment, I would try Bruce
Foster's Archive plugin to collect and submit files. It would be an
easy way to make things work, and make the process simple. The plugin
will resolve cross-refs and also set up a common directory structure
that you can easily import.

On your side, you'd just put the archives in place in a common
directory and they should all just work. And if you send files back,
you can use Archive to create a single-file archive from your
environment.

Book files consist of chapters, text inset files, and graphic files that are referenced. The conversion itself is a piece of cake. However, there is a problem with the xrefs becoming broken because the directory structure on the originating writer's machine is different from mine. However, both the writer and I maintain the same relative paths between the book file, text insets, and graphics. But when the writer copies the converted files back to his machine, the xrefs are broken.
