How do I exclude one cross reference format?

Question

Version: TCS2: Framemaker 9, Robohelp 8, both fully patched.

I have a gazillion cross-references to figures (images) in my Framemaker manual. Due to executive decision, these images are not being ported over to Robohelp-- I set their paragraph style to not import at all.

However, I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get Robohelp to IGNORE the cross-references of the type called "Figure." For that matter, I can't get Robohelp to give those a style, like "Hidden" that I could then use CSS to hide.

How do I get Robohelp to excluse/not import all cross-references of a specific format?

An alternate approach might be to create a new FM template that has those cross-references re-defined to nothing (i.e. no content except for a thin-space character - FM needs something there, but a thin space shouldn't be hardly noticeable). Then have this template applied when importing the FM content into RH. This would effectively not show those cross-refs.

Wait-- I take it back. Apparently, if I change the Framemaker cross reference format to a space, and import in RH as [Source], it works.

Thanks for making me try it again. It's a kludge, but it'll work for what we need.
