- We've had problems with this, too. What's happening is that when a cross-reference
- is made, FM inserts a cross-ref tag (it looks like a capital T when text symbols
- are turned on) in the document being cross-referenced. Now if that cross-referenced
- paragraph is copied within the document the cross-ref tag comes along with it.
- When you make a cross-ref to the copied paragraph, FM points back to the original
- when the cross-refs are updated.
-
- The only way I've found around this is to delete the cross-ref tag from the
- offending paragraph and make the cross-ref again.
-
- Obviously cutting and pasting paragraphs which are cross-referenced is not
- a good idea.

- I've struggled with this, too. I'd love to know if anyone has found a way to
- do this.
