I'm revising a long document with a bunch of cross-referenced Figure numbers. In other words each image has a Figure number that looks like this Figure 2-16.Then in the body of the text it refers to the figure like this (Figure 2-16). When I set these up I used Insert--> Cross-refernce all the way through.
It's been over a year since I worked on this this document, but I thought I still remembered how they were supposed to work.
So earlier today I had to ADD a Figure (and thus a Figure number), so I simply copied and pasted one of my FigureSequencer text blocks and it pasted in just as I needed it: with the next (correct) Figure Number and all the subsequent figures in the book renumbered. Then when I went to Hyperlinks Panel, clicked Update and all the Cross References updated.
Then the trouble strated. later on in the book I needed to DELETE a Figure and Figure number. But instead of causing all the subsequent Figures to re-number, the text block disappeared on me and now the Hyperlink panel says my Cross Refernce is on the PB (PB in red).
What the heck happened? Running InDesign 4 on Mac.
