##### 15.5.4.1 Making page numbers in interfile links updatable

By default, DITA2Go makes page numbers in external references updatable:

    [WordOptions]
    ; ExtXrefPages = Yes (default, make page refs to external files into
    ; updatable fields), or No (just put page numbers as plain text)
    ExtXrefPages=Yes

When ExtXrefPages=Yes, external cross references with page numbers get the page number from the external file. However, if that file has not itself had its fields locked or updated (see §15.5.1.2 Making cross references active and updatable), the page-number value might not be correct. Once you update the page-number field in the referenced file, and then in the referencing file, you should get the right page number in the cross reference. Or, make sure LockXrefs=Yes (the default setting).
