Cross Reference Sources appearing in Story Editor view but not appearing in the Cross Ref pane

I have imported a Word document containing working cross references into an InDesign document. The vast majority of these cross references import correctly and link to their destinations within the document, however there are some that are not working. If I view the text frame in the story editor view, I can see these "broken" cross reference sources that came in from the Word doc but on selecting them I can see that there isnt a corresponding entry for it in the cross reference pane. As said, there are only a few that are behaving like this.
What could be causing these not to appear in the cross reference pane?
Obviously as they are not appearing in the list of cross references I can't update them, and also, as they are technically broken cross references, because a source exists for them but there is no corresponding entry in the pane, then on export to epub, InDesign crashes (If there is one broken cross reference in a document, export to Epub will crash indesign).
Also, to clarify, in the Word doc if I navigate to a cross reference that is failing once in InDesign, I can update it properly, and also navigate to its destination in the Word doc, so it's not as though these cross references are broken before coming into InDesign. Also I believe the destinations for these "broken" cross references are coming across properly to indesign too as I can see them in the story editor view.
Supposed Cross Reference source selected in Story Editor view on left, but no corresponding cross reference highlighted in pane on right:
Technical Details:
InDesign CS5.5 - Version 7.5.3
Microsoft Word 2010, File type .docx

I have found the possible cause of this problem!
If a table is used within the Word document somewhere between where the cross reference source is and its destination then that particular cross reference will be broken as described above in my initial post.
So the "fix" is to remove any occurances of a table in the Word document and the cross references come into InDesign perfectly. This is actually not a fix at all. I need to use tables in the Word document for layout purposes so if they break cross references if they stand between them and their destinations then I have to compromise, i.e. use tables but with no cross references in the document or vice versa.
I found a similar issue recently with index markers in Word causing a shift on the cross reference tags when bought into InDesign. The "fix" again for that was to remove all index markers from the Word document. See post about this here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1043981
InDesign really needs to sort out the issues with importing of Word documents with cross references in them. If I can't use index markers and tables in a Word document without breaking its cross references then they can't claim to have the ability to import a Word document while maintaining its cross references into an InDesign document. It just doesnt work as ive painstakingly proven.

  • Cross Reference Source text options

    Creating a Cross Reference linking to a Paragraph. In the paragraph where the cross-reference source is inserted, may the cross-reference link be applied to existing text in that paragraph so that the cross-reference destination text does not appear? Text anchors can be created to accomplish this, but that is an extra step (I can create a cross reference linking to a paragraph all in one dialog box). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hi, Seir:
    I agree that it's confusing. Here's how I do it:
    To create a text anchor at the insertion point location:
    * Open the Hyperlinks/Cross-References panel's menu (also called "flyout menu." It's the small icon at the upper-right of the panel, below the double-arrow (>>) icon that collapses the panel.
    * Choose New Hyperlink Destination. THIS SHOULD BE NAMED NEW TEXT ANCHOR!!!
    * Choose Type: Text Anchor
    * Name the anchor as you like Click OK.
    To create a cross-reference to a text anchor:
    * Place the insertion point where you want it.
    * Click the Create new Cross-Reference button on the bottom of the Hyperlinks/Cross-Reference panel.
    * Choose Link To: Text Anchor
    * Choose the target document
    * Choose the text anchor
    * Choose the Cross-Reference format
    * Choose Appearance properties
    * Click OK
    I'm not sure what could cause the straight/curly quotes problem other than perhaps the font doesn't have curly quotes. Have you tried other fonts?

  • Dates Appearing in Tabular Model but not appearing on Pivot table

    Hi all,
    I am using SSAS tabular Model 2012, in tabular model all dates are appearing correct in date column but not when i drag attribute to my pivot table it shows only one date. Does anyone has the solution of this issue.
    Regards,
    Piyush

    Hi Piyush0308,
    According to your description, you have date column displayed all dates correctly in Tabualr. When showing in a Excel Pivot table, it only get the first date. Right?
    In this scenario, firstly please check the source table data in database, then make sure the data type of this column is Date in Tabualr. In Excel, please make sure there's no aggregation setting on this field. As I tested in our local environment, it should
    display same thing in tabular.
    If the issue still persists, please share some information about your date table so that we have some deep analysis.

  • Launch Console fails: the vnc viewer is not installed on the manager server and no local vnc viewer is found.

    Hello,
    I have created and started a VM image and try to configure this image, but when launching the console I get the error:
    "the vnc viewer is not installed on the manager server and no local vnc viewer is found."
    I've read the vnc console does not rely on a local version of the vnc client, but uses the java vnc.  From the java log I get:
    Java Web Start 1.6.0_43
    Using JRE version 1.6.0_43-b01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
    User home directory = C:\Users\kgraaf

    28-jun-2013 10:17:04 com.oracle.ovm.ras.proxy.external.ViewerLauncherFactory getViewerLauncher
    INFO: Os is : windows 7
    It is not clear to me yet what is expected to be running where. My configuration is:
    - VM Server 3.1 on Linux host A
    - VM Manager 3.1 on Linux host B
    - Connected via Windows 7 64-bit client via a browser to the Management Server. Let's call this host C
    When launching the console it tries to connect to 127.0.0.1:60505 so to localhost and a port#.
    - Given this information I would expect it tries to launch the vncviewer from my management server (host B).
    - /usr/bin/vncviewer is installed on host B, but this appears not to be used.
    - We see java vnc is started on my Windows 7 client (host C) and it tries to connect to 127.0.0.1 (localhost on my Windows client??) and not to the remote management server (host B)!?
    Questions:
    1 - Can someone explain what exactly is being executed (from where and to which host) when launching the console?
    2 - Is this a java version / Windows 7 related configuration issue? How to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Klaas.

    Per Oracle's website - RAN into this a few hours ago...Do it as ROOT on the VM Manager Host
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26996_01/E18548/html/BABFBEIF.html
    It is preferred that you install either TightVNC on the Oracle VM Manager host computer. You can get the latest TightVNC package from:
    http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/
    Install TightVNC with the command:

  • MC.9 - Material Number appears for period 06/2007 but not 07/2007

    Hi Experts,
    Have you encountered the situation whereby in MC.9(S039), the data of a certain Material Number appears for period 06/2007 but not 07/2007
    This material# has no stock & movements for 07/2007, but for another material# with the same conditions, there is no problem.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hello Experts,
    i´m having the same issue at my system.
    Does anyone know why for a certain material report MC.9 shows balance at some Store Location although it doesn´t have any movements, while for other Store Location it isn´t showed any line, not even with zero values.
    I hope somebody can answer this issue.
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • How come I can see my div in design view but not in live view

    Hi,
    I have a div ID called "portfolio" that I can see in design view but not live view or on a browser. It's a little pink square and I want that square round also.
    I ran it through validator. It picked up some things in the style.css which I changed and the boilerplate.css that I did not. Because I thought DW auto creates code for boilerplate because I don't enter that code myself.
    It's also rejecting a lot of webkit code but this seems like standard webkit code that works elsewhere on the page.
    BTW: at what point does this brutal hand coding pay off in money and less heartache when Wordpress looks cleaner and is so much easier to use? I feel like I barely know HTML or CSS in terms of translating vision to reality and with all-browser functionality after months and months of on-line classes. How long are the pros at it till they reach a watershed point?
    here's my address: http://www.adjacentdimensionsmedia.com/home.html
    Here's my html:
    <body>
      <div class="gridContainer clearfix">
        <div id="div1" class="fluid"><img src="adtitle2.png" width="700" height="80" alt=""/></div>

      </div>
        <div id="portfolio">Portfolio</div>
    </body>
    Here's my CSS:
    .box-shad {
      margin-top: 200px;
      margin-left: 100px;
      width: 900px;
      height: 700px;
      display: block;
      background-image: url("images/Big-tree-trans1.png");
      background-size: 900px 700px;
      -webkit-box-shadow: 15px 15px 15px #000000 inset;
      box-shadow: 15px 15px 15px #000000 inset;
      -webkit-border-radius: 50%;
      border-radius: 50%;
      position: fixed;
    .box-shad a {
        display:block;
        width:900px;
        height:700px;
    #portfolio {
      width: 100px;
      height: 100px;
      margin-top: 0px;
      margin-right: 200px;
      margin-left: 200px;
      margin-bottom: 0px;

      -webkit-border-radius: 75% 75%;
      background: pink;
      top: -300px;
      position: relative;

    The top:-300 is putting that div above the top of the browser viewport. Fix that and you'll see the div.
