You need to edit your cross-reference definition. By default, the one you
seem to be using uses <$paratext> in the definition. This element grabs the
text of the paragraph you are referenceing and inserts it. If you want it to
say something different, delete <$paratext> and create a new definition
based on what it is you want the x-ref to say.

:: Is it possible to create a cross-reference marker in
:: FrameMaker 6.0 that
:: allows the cross-reference to be different than the
:: insertion point of the
:: marker?
::
:: Example:
:: In this introduction to a procedure, I would like to create a
:: cross-reference marker that would insert the words 'client search
:: dialog' as the cross-reference.
::
:: -->To search for a client<--
::
:: It doesn't seem to matter what I try, I end up
:: inserting 'To search
:: for a client' as the cross-reference.
