Hi Rick,<br><br>I am honoured to get a reply from such a Framemaker legend! <br><br>I tried to look at the reference page of the LOT and was puzzled by four instances of the <$paratext> block. Three of the instances are under the 'Cross-Reference Macros', while the fourth is on the last page in a paragraph that starts with the text 'openXmlElementId.' Which of the <$paratext> block should I modify? <br>
<br>While awaiting the reply to my question, I came across this document from CERN <a href="http://lhcb-muon.web.cern.ch/lhcb-muon/results/tdr.pdf">http://lhcb-muon.web.cern.ch/lhcb-muon/results/tdr.pdf</a> . The List of Tables and the List of Images of the above pdf are probably built using a cross reference process. <br>
<br>Following the CERN document, I assembled a List of Tables page that contains tabular data similar to the pdf with crosslinked data such as Table Number, Table Name and Page. <br><br>I believe this style of building TOC, LOT and LOF using crossreferences are used in defense manuals, although the automatic method (as suggested by you) would look more elegant, provided I can get the Table Number, Name and Page Number fields automatically. <br>
<br>I have a supplementary question that popped up while creating the cross referenced table. <br><br>I used the Cross reference dialog box (Special -> Cross - Reference) to enter the various cross references in the hand assembled list of tables. I need to choose the various documents of the book in the Source Document field. However, every time I made an entry, the document window snapped back to the 'Current' document. How do I force this dialog box to maintain the selected document in the 'source document' field until I choose another document to cross reference? <br>
<br>I await your reply. <br><br>Regards<br><br>Apurva from Pune, India. <br><br> <br><br><br> which one should I add the <<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 5:45 PM, Rick Quatro <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rick@rickquatro.com" target="_blank">rick@rickquatro.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>Each table in the document has a 'Table Title' paragraph style applied to it.
