| Summary | 0017781: Page Reference Character (like the Page Number Character) | ||||
| Description | Non-fictions books, especially, often have many page references like: See page 37 for more information. Can there be a Page Reference character which can be tied to a specific page (the page referred to) and is dynamically updating its current position if pages are added or deleted before/after? IMHO, this would be a nice feature, especially when the manuscript has updated (or is expected to) during the layout setup, or for other layout reasons that shift the pages as even a simple font size change could result in the content shifting to pages up or down. | ||||
