Hi there,
I saw this posting on the list and thought I would follow up with one
more suggestion…at the end of the cross-reference format, insert a
<Default Para Font> block as well to avoid problem where text after the
cross reference inherits the character tag used in the x-ref.
----Your posting and someone else’s reply-------
Hi Thomas,
It would help to clarify questions if you used FM's own terminology.
When you "change the font in a document", what exactly are you doing?
Updating a character tag? Applying a tag to text?
If you are applying a character tag (not a "style") to a cross-reference
that has already been inserted, then it's likely that the change won't
"stick" because every time FM reopens the document, the x-ref's get
updated (= overwritten). The correct way to apply tags to x-ref's is to
include the character tag in the x-ref format definition. All character
tags that you have in your catalog are listed at the bottom of the
Building Blocks list in the Edit Cross-Reference Format dialog box.
Place your cursor in the Definition box at the appropriate place and
click your CrossReference tag in the list; it will appear in <brackets>
in the Definition. Click Change, Done, and the appropriate Update
choice, and save your document.
HTH,
