#### 2.5.4.2 Creating persistent references from text insets

To cross-reference material in container documents from a text inset so that cross-reference links survive document updating regardless of which container document imports the inset:

1. Open the text-inset file in FrameMaker.

2. Open a container document.

3. From the text-inset file, use the FrameMaker Cross-Reference dialog to create a cross reference to the appropriate paragraph in the container document:

3.1. From the Document list, choose the name of the container file (not Current).

3.2. From the Source Type list, choose Paragraph.

3.3. Select the container-document format and paragraph you want to reference.

3.4. Select the appropriate cross-reference format.

3.5. Click Insert; FrameMaker inserts a cross-reference marker into the container file, in the paragraph you selected.

4. Save the container file.

5. In the text-inset file, use the FrameMaker Cross-Reference dialog to replace the cross reference you created in Step 3:

5.1. From the Document list, choose the name of the container file (not Current).

5.2. From the Source Type list, choose Cross-Reference Marker.

5.3. Choose the marker for the cross reference you created in Step 3.

5.4. Click Insert; FrameMaker inserts into the text-inset file a cross-reference to the marker in the container document.

6. In the text-inset file, use the FrameMaker Conditional Text dialog to define a unique condition, and apply that condition to the cross-reference pointer.

7. Repeat Step 2 through Step 6 for each container document that imports the text inset, defining a different condition for each, and applying that condition to the newly created cross-reference pointer in the text inset.

8. In each container document, do the following:

8.1. Define all the unique text-inset conditions you created in Step 6.

8.2. Show the condition for the container document in question, and Hide all the other unique text-inset conditions.
