Reply To: Create New Cross Reference Causes Text to Be Too Big in Table Cell

Thanks David for your answer and suggestions to use Table of Contents feature. In answer, I am using tables because the text / part numbers and descriptions layout of the 354 page catalog is in tables and I am afraid I have been single minded in continuing that usage. I will definitely need to look into the Table of Contents feature to learn how to use it. Lynda.com here I come!

I did look in the formatting inside the pop up menu and I had already removed the “Page ” from the line. I only have <pageNum /> in the formatting. I cannot see anything that should be causing this although I am sure it is probably simpler than I know.

Lastly, I do understand “Wild West” analogy. That is why I tried to be respectful in my question about receiving answers. I genuinely want to know if there is a “better way”.

By the way, I really appreciate the articles that I read from you about designing in indesign. Thanks David
