How to Remove or Edit "See" from Imported Word References

Post by Ken Billing »

Has anyone figured out how to edit or remove the word "See" from cross references imported from Word? I can format Flare's Xref style fine, but it doesn't apply to these imported references and I have to edit every inWord cross reference.

Thanks!

Are you authoring in Word or in Flare? If you're doing a one-time import and then you're authoring in Flare, I'd do a find-replace. Look at the code to see what code is importing, and then use Find/Replace to locate all of them in Flare and replace them.

Its a one-time pain, but such is life.

That will be my backup plan, but this will be a frequent need and it would be nice to fix it just once. I've already got a laundry list of pre and post processing steps, so one less is a step in the right direction.

After more testing, what I've deduced is that even though you choose a stylesheet to associate with an import, it is NOT used during the import, Flare applies its default Xref mc-format style to the import, and changes to mc-format only apply to subsequent Xrefs created in Flare.

Can anybody confirm this is true?
Can anybody say if this is fixed in Flare 4?
