I am trying to link a single word in a sentence to a section heading that
discusses the item in more detail. (Normally, I work around this using
direct cross references that show the section and page.)

For example, the word "Tasks" appears in an introductory sentence. I would
like to cross reference/link that instance of the word to "Setting up tasks
for new users." The Frame docs talk about spot cross references (what looks
most like what I'm trying to do) but the procedures are surprisingly unclear
and unhelpful. For this solution, the trick seems to be coming up with a
cross-reference definition that reads the text of the cross reference
marker, versus the paragraph where the marker is.

Has anybody out there dealt with this in the past?

Andy
