Globally updating x-refs

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Nancy,

After you split the files, open each one and choose Edit > Update 
References. Check the All Cross-References check box and click Update. In 
the resulting dialog box, you have an oportunity to point to the other 
documents. All of the unresolved cross-references will be to the current 
document, but go ahead and point to one of the other documents and click 
Open. Keep doing this until the number of cross-references ends up being 
zero and click Cancel to exit the dialog box.

Note that if you do a lot of splitting, I have a FrameScript script that 
will split the files based on paragraph formats and will automatically 
resolve the references. If you are interested in this, please contact me 
offlist. Thank you very much.
