Hi David Sorry to hear that. Do let me know if you manage to sort it out

In answer to your “See figures 1 to 3” query, the way we handle it is to only use the actual page number and then type in what we want to see round them rather than relying on the CS suggestions. I know that you can set up new narratives within the cross refs but this has proved somewhat problematic for us. I guess this is what you are refering to as the building blocks.

So we would do: “See figures” [cross ref] “to” [cross ref]. The [cross ref] being the live cross ref and the “???” being what is typed in the text. In your long winded example it would look like “See Figure” [Cross ref 1]”, Figure” [cross ref 2] “and Figure” [cross ref 3]”.”

This is not very well written but I hope you get the jist and that it offers you a solution as it effectively cuts out the building block. The downside is that there is extra typing but it would allow you to put the non breaking spaces in where you want them.
