Cross-reference formatting, Part 2

[Alan Litchfield]

You need to create a Character Style that defines Small Caps, then in the
cross reference definition apply it there. From Help it says:

"Including character formats in cross-references

"All formats in the document’s Character Catalog appear at the end of the
Building Blocks scroll list. You insert them as you do other building blocks.

"If you don’t insert a character format in a cross-reference format,
FrameMaker uses the font at the insertion point when a cross-reference is
inserted with that format. If you change the character format for the
cross-reference, the change applies only to the cross-reference, not to the
text following it in the paragraph.

"Don’t use a character tag that includes angle brackets (< >)."

Cheers
Alan
