Xref page numbering not correct

[Scott Prentice]

Steve ...

The map to book conversion process should relink the @hrefs to the new 
FM files .. you shouldn't have to do anything. If the @hrefs are 
pointing at the source DITA files, there's no way that the links will 
ever work (since they will always point at the wrong place), and the 
page numbers are in fact correct since the topics always start at page #1.

You should install the two FM10 updates and see if that fixes the 
problem. If not .. you should use DITA-FMx which does this (and many 
other things) correctly.  :)
