I am in a situation where I have to maintain two types of documents. One set is all maintained in MS Word 2007. The other set is all kept in Adobe InDesign CS4 files. Cross references in Word are a simple thing.
I've read a lot of confusing information about cross references in ID. It would save me tons of time if ID had a feature that worked like the MS Word cross references work. Meaning, I can have one figure or table with a label that is referenced many times throughout the rest of the ID document. When a new figure or table is inserted into the file and auto numbering assigns the figure number and adjusts all those that follow, all of my references to the older figures will automatically update.
I've been told by my new co-workers who spend all day in ID CS4, that the cross references in ID CS4 don't work well and I have to manually edit my references if I'm unfortunate enough to have to add a new figure to an existing series of figures.
Anyone have some useful advice to share on this subject?
Thanks,
Peter H.
