Frank Drost reckoned:

I would like to place cross references to pictures and
tables in other subdocuments. However, I can't do that for
some of my subdocuments. When I go "Insert", "Cross-
reference", "table" I can make cross references to tables
in some subdocuments, but not to tables in other
subdocuments. How come? Has it something to do with making
the style table (and my own created Fig.) available to my
whole document (which I thought I did)?
