Cross referencing between documents.

Here's what I'd like to do.

- Have a large document that is kept as a bunch of chapter documents and one organizing document.
- Reference a page # or caption or bookmark from one of the chapter documents to another.
- Not use Master/Sub documents.

So, I have a document that has a table of contents and then a series of INCLUDETEXT statements to load each of the smaller documents. That works great. The smaller documents get all their paging and Figure statements correctly sequenced when printing the organizing document. The table of contents works great. Cross references within a smaller document also update correctly.

But I can't figure out a way to get a cross reference in one document to another document, with proper updates.

I've tried several approaches and the one that comes closest is this:

Chap2.doc -> add a cross reference to a figure in Chap2 that I want to refer to in Chap1. Bookmark that cross reference and make it a hidden font.

Chap1.doc -> use an INCLUDETEXT that refers to the bookmark in Chap2. Change the font formatting to visible.

Organizer.doc -> has an INCLUDETEXT for Chap1.doc and Chap2.doc.

After updating fields I get an "Error! Bookmark not defined."

So... do I just have to tweak something? Is there another technique to accomplish what I'd like to do? Or is this a dead end? I'm open to writing macro code if necessary.

Thanks.
