XREF not accepting element selection in document

Are there other tables with cross references you can use as a guide?

In our documentation we have the Id attached to the table title, and as this also contains the table number, the xref works perfectly.

The other way to do it would be to create an autonumber that echoes that of the table title for the table element, but uses a white character format (this only works if your pages are white background).

1. I need direction on how to locate the autonumber of the Tabletitle in paragraph designer.

2. version 13.01.385

3.In a single document.  The document. The document is a chapter of a book.

Cindy,

    I don't understand exactly what you are trying to do. Are you using the cross-reference pod? Open it in FM 2017 with Insert > Cross-Reference and in earlier versions with Special > Cross-Reference. You cannot define a cross-reference by setting attributes from the Structure View.

   Also, you can only create cross-references to elements that have an ID attribute (it doesn't matter what the attribute is named, but it has to be defined in your template as a unique identifier).
