Default Cross Reference page number and figures between 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. The table of
contents works great. The smaller documents get all their paging and Figure
statements correctly sequenced when printing the organizing document. Cross
references individual documents 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.
