Hi All,

I have a inherited a User Mauual. I have a Book and all the Chapters, 1 through 10.

When I update a book, I am getting hundreds of Unresloved Cross-references.

As I said before, all the Chapters are their in the same folder.

Now I have to go to Cross-References dialog box (shwon below) and re assign all references again by:

selecting Document (Chapter)
selecting Source Type (paragraph)
selecting Marker Types (section, or figure, or table, whatever)
and finally selecting the Cross-reference Marker

I am not sure at what point these cross-references links got broken.

Can anyone expalin that, please?

Appreciate any response. Thank you.

I don't think so - it would be cool if it did fix multiple broken xrefs (if they were to the same spot).😁

You might try saving one as a MIF file & have a look at it to see what path it thinks the xref is supposed to be looking for - that might give you a clue if was moved around.

Did the relative path between the files get moved at some point? That can throw off xrefs.

Hello Jeff,

Appreciate your response.

As I have said, I have inherited this project so I do not really know.

So is there any solution for that or user (in this case I) would have to re-configure each and every link?

Considering my Manual has about 100-200 links.

Wondering how often people come across problem like this?

As you know, if multiple image is missing in a document, you only have to point to the folder once and then other images will automatically default to the folder you selected. Do they have similar features for this Un-resolved Cross-references?

Thanks.
