Cross References To Page# Do Not Render

#1

Version 4.1.6.2 Build ID 410m0(Build:2)

I have a large multi-document document that contains many cross
references. This has always worked. Recently however references to
"Page" to no work. They render as empty. The area is still `hot` and
jumps to the related section.... but nothing displays but the gray hot
area, no page#. Cross references to Reference display the Reference
text, but references to Page# display nothing.

So I have, for example, text that reads '''(see "Wiki", pg.)''' where
both "Wiki" and the missing number after "pg." references a section of
the document.

I test the cross references by exporting the master document to a ODT
which combines all the documents into one - and thus makes the
cross-document cross-references work.

Hi :slight_smile:
If something suddenly starts happening that didn't happen before then it's
worth renaming the User Profile to see if soemthing went wonky with that.

If it doesn't seem to do anything then it might be worth renaming it back
over the auto-generated one to make sure you get back all your normal
settings and tweaks.

Again it might be worth looking into using Zotero as an
Extension/Add-on/Plugin (actually it's an independent project that can be
plugged into MS Office AND LibreOffice/OpenOffice and maybe others too)
since you also seem to be pushing the default one further than most of us.

I'll try that.

I do not see how Zotero is relevant to what I am doing. I am
maintaining a large hundreds-of-pages technical document which I
occasionally release as a PDF. The support for Master Documents in
OpenOffice/LibreOffice make this feasible, especially in addition to the
Stylist.

But cross-references are a bit of a pain, as I can see the references in
the Navigator one cannot 'use' them, out-of-document cross references
have to be manually keyed into. That works once the document is
exported as a single document, but now there is the issue with the
reference just not rendering.

It is hard to believe I am the only one using LibreOffice in this way -
as this is the point of a full-featured office suite, to ease the create
and maintenance of 'real' documents.
