atw: Re: austechwriter Digest V7 #177
But remember that if you want cross references to be effective, you need to have each of the relevant files open at the time of setting the cross reference... and particularly ensure that the target file is open when you select the point to cross reference to.
Agreed, Peter, but the way I've always done it (in FM 6, maybe it's changed in later versions?) it's not possible to set it up without having both files open. When you set up the cross ref you obviously have the file from which the jump will occur open, and when you select cross ref from the Special menu, the ensuing dialogue box requires that you select the file in which the cross ref marker exists, so by definition this has to be open as well. Am I missing some subtle point here? Is there another way of setting a cross ref without both files open which results in a dead cross ref?
