Hot to fix strange behaviour of PageNumberOnly cross references

  • March 24, 2019

I put few cross references in one paragraph.

InDesign does not fill whole line when I use "page number only" format for references.

If I use some static characters in format, everything is ok. If i place <pageNum/>, it became wrong.

It seems that <pageNum/> has some kind of "virtual" width about 3-5 characters.

Is there a way to make it work correct?

    I've noticed that changing paragraph's justification composer to "Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer" solves the problem!

      Hi Fotomirk:

      This appears to be an issue with InDesign x-refs, and the second one reported today.

      Lines wrapping when they should not

      After this thread from Feb 1 (Re: Cross Reference Not Flowing Correctly ) a bug report was logged here:  Cross reference takes more space than its text – Adobe InDesign Feedback.

      Adding your vote and a link to this thread will help draw the InDesign team's attention to the matter.
