    Cross-references in different text blocks

    When creating a dynamic model that includes text blocks with internal references, a standard cross-reference is not possible. The reference will not be found.

    To remedy this, place a bookmark with the prefix 'dStyle' at the heading to refer the cross-reference to it.

    Open the text fragment containing the desired reference location, place your cursor there, and click the 'Bookmark' button in the 'Insert' menu.

    Create a bookmark named 'dStyle…..' where the dots are replaced by a unique name.
