Cross-referencing in InDesign
«

Hi,
This is a very specific question. I don't want advice about how to do this in other software packages. I need help with Adobe InDesign specifically (FYI, I'm using CS2, but I imagine that the basic procedure is relatively standard across most versions).
I want to generate in-line page number references. Things like:
"For additional terminology, see the Glossary (page 95)."
The catch is, I want the "95" (or whatever the page number happens to be) to update automatically if the Glossary gets moved to a new page.
Again, this isn't a formal index, nor is it a table of contents. This is in-line page references.
Thanks,
D

InDesign doesn't support it natively. You have to buy a third-party plugin called InXref. I use it religiously.

Hey Fred,
Thanks for the info. However, as the tides of the internet are wont to do, someone pointed out
some other options over on Story-Games
.
One of those options was a completely free plugin.
I just Cross-Referenced about 90+ citations. It was a little clunky, but it worked. I think it took about 2 hours.
For the sake of interest (and posterity), care to talk about why XRef rocks? I'd be interested in your insight.
Cheers,
D

Oh, i don't claim it rocks. At least a few years ago, it was the only player in the game. Looks like that may have changed.
