FM 8: Xref markers keep breaking and re-breaking

[VLM TechSubs]

Great suggestion, thanks Winfried. I have been working with all files open, because some have that font error message upon opening,
and I haven't taken time yet to fix that. And . as time goes by, I think/suspect increasingly that this problem has to do with
linking to empty target paragraphs. Ergo, my request for input on nonprinting characters I might use to trick FM into thinking that
those paras are not really empty. 

Thanks again!
Elchanan

Hi Elchanan,

 

If FrameMaker cannot open the target file, this may cause

unresolved cross-references.

Could it be that you have a file in the book which is closed

and which triggers error messages when opened (e.g. missing

fonts).

 

Does it make a difference, if you open all files of the book?

 

Best regards

 

Winfried

Perhaps I should add that this just happened when I added an index to the book. The process called for a generate, which I did. And
now, lots of broken xrefs. I did change the index suffix, but I can't imagine that would cause the problem . would it?

Greetings!

 

I put xref markers in throughout a book. These markers are simple xrefs to other chapters, nothing fancy. I generate the book, all
is well. After working for a while, I do another generate (sometimes with intervening generates that were fine), and all of a
sudden, lots of broken xrefs. I fix them all, generate, and all is well. Several generates later, poof! A large number of broken
xrefs again. 

 

Has anyone else encountered something like this? 

 

Thanks,

Elchanan
