    Ok, i’m ready to strangle indesign at this point. For my last 3 books I used Virginia Systems InSeq which handled numbering really well but I’m wondering about DTP Tools xref Pro since David is affiliated. Can someone answer this?

    1) do I need the CC2017 upgrade or does the regular tool work with CC2017?
    2) Then, can I create cross references to a counter such that I can have Exercise 1, Exercise 2, Exercise 3 where {1,2, 3} are auto incrementing counters, and have the reference insert the text “Exercise 2”?
    3) Assuming yes to #2, can I continue the numbering across chapters?
    4) Does delete/cut/copy/paste retain all original numbering links? (this is a huge miss in CC2017’s xref)

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in our tools.

    1. For CC2017 you need to install via DTP Tools Cloud http://www.dtptools.com/cloud fixed license version works for CS3-CS6.
    2. You can create a reference with the text Exercise and then the number taken from a paragraph, chapter or page number of the source. The plug-in itself only references the numbers, does not create lists and sequences.
    3. Yes, you can if you set it to the appropriate numbering source.
    4. Yes it does.

    If needed, I can assist you with creating the sample references in your document.

    Best regards,
