Type a period and press the spacebar.

In Ref1.fm, the cross-reference to the Heading1 in Ref2.fm has been made. In the next
exercise, you’ll create another one that inserts the file name of the external source.

Save both documents. Now that the cross-reference is inserted and saved,
FrameMaker 7.0 will update its text and page number automatically whenever you print
or open the file.
Creating a cross-reference format
The document already contains cross-reference formats for headings and tables, but it
doesn’t have an appropriate format for a cross-reference to a chapter title. Here, you’ll
create such a format so that you’ll be able to cross-reference a chapter title later.
1
With the insertion point still in Ref1.fm, choose Special > Cross-Reference.
2
Make sure that the Heading & Page format is chosen in the Format pop-up menu.
Then click Edit Format. The definition for the Heading & Page format appears in the
Definition text box.
You’ll use the Edit Cross-Reference dialog box to create the
format
for the cross-reference.
The format definition comes from three sources:
•
Building blocks specify information about the source of the cross-reference. For
example, the <$paratext> building block specifies the paragraph text, and the
<$pagenum> building block specifies the page number.
•
Text you type yourself in the Definition text box will appear in the format just as you
typed it. For example, typing the words
on page
adds those words to the format.
•
Character formatting comes from special building blocks so that, for example, portions
of the cross-reference appear in bold or italics.

Delete the contents of the Name text box and enter
