Question

Plugin to find unused references

Hi,

I have a book file. In chapter 8 there is a list of references used within the book. Within the book there are cross-references to each paragraph in chapter 8.

My question is, does anyone know of a plugin or tool that will check for "unused" references in chapter 8, meaning the paragraphs that are not linked to a cross-reference.

Thank you!

Hi Lisa:

How long is chapter 8? And is the purpose to figure out which paragraphs still need x-refs?

One (manual) approach would be to open chapter 8 and use Find to locate all the cross-reference markers, note which paragraphs are skipped, and perhaps assign a color to them to mark them as an override. Then after you completed the x-refs, just remove the overrides.
