How do I put a cross reference on a text line added to an illustration?

I got it to work thanks to several of you here!

Here's what I did:

I deleted the original line text numbers and replaced each with a text frame.  Once I did that, I was able to create a cross-reference marker with the number of the call-out as the text:

Then, I created a reference format that was renamed as the name I wanted to use as my own reference internally and used just the number of that part as the reference format, with my Character Style applied.

Then I cross-referenced to the section that needed referencing, and it worked!

Thank you for all of your help!!

Just to add another option, though one you probably wouldn't prefer, you can also use a legend (text or table) below the pic and cross ref from there.

I have an illustration that has several "call-out" numbers on it referring to components of the widget referred to with this manual

Hi Jim:

Another option is to use the hot spot tool. This allows you to designate parts of a single image as links to various locations.

Hi Jimlight,

Use your Hypertext pod to insert a Cross-Ref marker in the text line and use the marker text as a label for when you insert the xref.

Then you can insert a spot cross-reference via the Cross-Reference pod. You'll see your label when you set Source Type to Cross-Reference Markers.

You can read more about the process in the Creating spot cross-references section of my book, FrameMaker - Working with Content.
