I am still fighting with LyX/LaTeX cross-referencing facilities. While
it's rather clear how to use it to refer to page numbers and equation

1. cross-referencing to a separate file
2. having the section title appear in the cross-referencing document.
In fact, I am not even sure whether (1) or (2) are possible at all.
Here is what I am trying to do (assuming it's not clear enough from
the
above description):
Say I have chapter 1 and chapter 2 in chapter1.lyx and chapter2.lyx.
Chapter1.lyx has sections:
1. Introduction
2. First section
3. Third section
Somewhere in Chapter 2, I want to say: "as I showed in ***Chapter 1,
Third section***, etc.etc." I
I would like to have the text between *** as a cross-reference, so
that
if I move the Chapter1.lyx section around, change its title, etcetera,
the reference would still work. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Stefano,
Assuming you're doing the whole book yourself and not sharing out
chapters,
consider putting the whole thing in a single file. I've got a 110,000
word
book in a single file, and it performs just fine.
Thanks Steve,
but I have a different problem. I am trying to switch to LyX for all
my writing, including my (intense) note-taking. I can't put all of that
in a single file.
Thanks anyway.
