  Hi everyone,
  
  When I print a particular document I get the warning message 'Unresolved or out-of-date cross-references'. The Bookmark panel is empty. I've looked through the text in Story Editor and cannot see anything either. I've googled the error and seen it appear many times but there is never been an answer with a fix for it.
  
  The error must have come from Word files that have been imported into the InDesign file (I work in long documents). There are a couple of times where a reference to a particular Table or Figure is missing in InDesign and I've had to key them in.
  
  Does anyone know how to fix the file to get rid of the warning? Saving the file as an idml does not fix it either.
  
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  “but to clear all
  
  hyperlinkTextSources in a document use:
  
  app.activeDocument.hyperlinkTextSources.everyItem().remove()
  
  “
  
  hope that works for you?

  Thanks Hopsa for your answer (sorry for not acknowledging earlier but I've been very ill and therefore not on the forum).
  
  Unfortunately I'm not exactly sure what wording I need to write above and below the script wording app.activeDocument.hyperlinkTextSources.everyItem().remove() for it to work. Can Hopsa or anyone else help please?

  you have to make a script out of it
  
  but there are others here who know what they are doing with scripting.
  
  I tried to do this, but unfortunately i had no succes in trying…

  This little script will solve the ‘Unresolved or out-of-date cross-references’ problem:
  
  app.activeDocument.crossReferenceSources.everyItem().remove();
