    Cross reference in indesign
    I have created a figure style no problem there
    the figure style in the numbering section is as follows
    Figure ^H-^#.^t
    I would like to see in the paragraph that is referencing this figure to read (see fig. x.x)
    is this possible?

    Hello Michel
    looks like the thread is all gone?
    I guess growing pains during the merge with CreativePro

    Yes, we have had a few problems with the new site. So I think maybe a few forum posts have disappeared! That is very strange. I will check with the developers.

    If I recall, I had suggested you use this tip:

    Figure Numbering in InDesign (and cross-references to them)

    and then you can also do a Find/Change afterward to change the cross-references from “Figure” to “fig”. That is a simple solution, but of course if you update the x-refs, then you will need to do the Find/Change again.

    Hi David! Sure … time to come back! ;-)

    As the user uses an auto-numbering for the “image-title” para, he will just need 2 things to make it totally automatic:

    1/ insert a grep style the current para styles:

    Grep code: Fig\.\KFigure
    Char style: invisible

    [there’s a script to include this grep style in batch.]

    2/ define his cross-ref. format as:

    Fig.<paraNum />

    That’s all! Clue: Don’t forget cross-ref. are “text”!

    Hello Michel

    this is what i would like to achieve: with crossrefernces

    que reicae ma estius et et fugit (fig. 2.1) voluptassus

    my figure title reads as follows Figure 2.1 this is an example of text description.

    if iI use the cross reference “paragraph number” I get the following

    que reicae ma estius et et fugit (Figure 2.1) voluptassus

    1- I created a para style
    2- I created an invisible Font
    3- in the para style Grep tab I included
    Grep code: Fig\.\KFigure
    Char style: invisible
    4- I created a Cross reference format
    the definition is as follows
    Fig.<paraNum />

    what I get when I create my cross reference is
    Fig. (2 spaces no references to the figure number

    que reicae ma estius et et fugit (Fig. ) voluptassus

    What am I doing wrong

    Flavio

    We can suppose of course the “Figure” para style includes an auto-num and you target for the cross-ref. one of these paras using such a para style! …
