Tab between 2 cross references.

Question

Hello,I have an issue with the Framemaker coss refernces. When adding a cross reference like one that shows "Chapter no." and "page no." it is displayed with a tab between Chapter and Page eg. Chapter 3      on page 34. I haven't figured out how to replace the tab with a single space or how to edit the tab size. I looked into the Adobe help and the online forum but haven't found an answer.Best regards

In the cross-reference definition, any tab in the construct would be visible as a "\t", and in the body text as a ">" (with text symbol display enabled).

Since Chapter Number is a system variable, there's some chance it's been modified to include a tab, which would appear similarly.

Change the "\t" to a space or non-breaking space ("\ ") as desired.

What the tab does is controlled by the Basic:Tab Stops properties of the paragraph in which the xref is inserted. In general, you don't want tabs in these sorts of Xrefs.
