Create a BookXRefs file based on the xrefs in an existing Frame file

  1. Select the file(s) from the list of files in the book. (If you select multiple files, the resulting BookXRefs file will contain the xref definitions from all of the selected Frame files.)
  2. Choose Pubs-Tools > BookXRefs > Generate BookXRefs File. If an existing BookXRefs.INI file already exists for the current book, you will be prompted to overwrite it. This displays the Generate BookXRefs File dialog.
  3. Enter a new xref group name. If you plan to have only one xref group you can accept the default name, otherwise you may want to use a more meaningful name.
  4. Select the text editor type (internal or external) to use with this BookXRefs file.
  5. Choose OK, to write all of the xref names and definitions in the selected file(s) to the new BookXRefs file.
