Trudy,

I do not work in unstructured Frame, so not quite sure this is correct; however, a similar problem exists in structured Frame.

When you create a cross-reference, Frame looks for a "marker" at the target site to which to link. If one is there, it records its ID in the cross-reference. If there is none, it creates one, in which case the file has to be saved in order to retain the marker.

When you create a cross-reference to some place in a text inset, the text inset is NOT open; therefore, even though Frame appears to create the cross-reference, no marker is created in the target text inset because the file is not open. The next time you open the file, the cross-reference is unresolved because there is no marker in the text inset.

The solution is to OPEN the text inset file and create a cross-reference to each place you intend or think you might link to. This forces Frame to create the markers. Then save the text inset file. You can delete the cross-references you just created; this does not cause the markers to be deleted. They remain in the text inset file, even though there is no cross-references to them.

Now go back to the document which contains the unresolved cross-references and resolve them. Save the file. Because there are real markers in the text inset file, your cross-references have IDs to reference. The next time you open the file, the references should be OK.
