Character styles in cross-references

Greetings,



I've set up a cross-reference format (CS4) that contains a character style --so the ''character style for cross-reference'' box is checked, and contains a style listed in the drop-down menu. When I load the x-ref format into another document, it appears in the list of formats, and the related text in the definition box comes in fine. But the ''character style for x-ref'' box is now unchecked. I've tried synchronizing the styles across documents, and the same thing happens--the related character style never comes in. Has this happened for anyone else? Any suggestions? I need to synchronize the style across 24 documents, and be able to change it quickly between web and print versions, so I'd really appreciate your help.



Thanks!

Did you try loading the Character Style from document to document and then doing this above-described procedure?

I did--I synchronized the character styles and the cross-reference formats at the same time, and when that didn't work I ran each synchronization separately. All the files now have the correct character styles...but the xref format still drops the style when I load it into a new doc.

No, I meant clicking the Character Style panel menu button and choosing to Load Character Styles. Doing that first, then your other steps. Does it make any difference?

I tried it--still no luck.
