FM 7.2: Is there a way to Find a cross-ref and Replace it with another cross-ref?

[Fred Ridder]

If you create one instance of the correct cross-reference, you can copy that to the clipboard, and then do a Find/Change that uses the "By Pasting" option in the Change box. You'll still have to look at each cross-reference you find to see if it is one you need to change, but at least you can paste in the correct x-ref rather than having to reconstruct it manually.
 
Or if all the cross-references that point to the "different" target are incorrect, you can select and cut the cross-reference marker at that incorrect location and then paste it into the correct location. (Cutting and pasting the cross-reference marker into a different location is the most likely cause of the kind of problem you describe, and this is the direct way of undoing that kind of issue.)

Hi all,


FM 7.2: Is there a way to Find a cross-ref and Replace it with another cross-ref?

A blooper occurred in an FM doc, wherein a whole lot of cross-refs (all pointing to the same target) got replaced by a different cross-ref.


TIA
