Hello,

How do we cross-reference an image in the same FrameMaker document as well as an image in some other document.

Thanks & regards.

You can't xref images per se.

You can xref to their Flow A text frame anchor, or as we do, to the caption text which is within a text frame inside the same graphic frame.

If I understand the question ...

First of all, thanks for the reply to my query.

well you understood the question correctly, but the problem is the document i am working on does not allow me to put figure captions. Then i tried Xref thruogh table anchor using markers. i hope thats the correct way.

Thanks

So use invisible captions. Draw a Text Frame inside the Anchored Frame. Use a paragraph of name, say, "Caption" whose named font color, say "Invisible Text" is one set to Invisible in View > Color > Views. Define the RGB or CMYK value of that color to be something other than black (or white).

Pick a Color View that is used only for authoring mode (we use #6), in which that color is Normal. Pick one or more a Color Views for publication in which that color is Invisible. We use #1 for web & #2 for print.

Xrefs and Hypertext nav to such Xrefs work fine even when the target text is not visible. Book-to-book Xrefs in PDFs are subject to the normal nav-may-or-may-not-work considerations.

Sounds complicated.
