InDesign Plug-in for Cross-References The same company, Virginia Systems, offers Sonar Bookends InXref as a cross-referencing plug-in for InDesign that lets you mark anything in a document, such as a table, figure, photo, among others, and then refer to its page number elsewhere in
document. If
item moves, its page number reference updates automatically. This product uses a "labeling" system to mark both where referenced page numbers are to be inserted and where
material being referenced is found. QuarkXpress Plug-In
QuarkXpress is layout software that lets you combine writing, editing, and typography with color and pictures to produce dynamic final output. With Em Software Inc. introduced Xcatalog 6.2,
software that helps you create bi-directional links between a QuarkXpress 6 document—text selections or whole text and picture box contents— and an external database. You can now link any picture or text element, from a single character to a phrase or paragraph or entire story. Once
links are established, changes can be made on either
XPress side or
database side, and
changes pushed in
other direction. It helps you update prices, graphics, product information, or change versions or even swap languages. What's more, you can do all of this automatically. Em Software also has a version for InDesign named InCatalog.
