Is there a way to cross-reference text within a note?
For example, I have a document with a graphic that has a note next to it. The graphic takes up almost the entire page, and is intended to be read in landscape mode so I added a text box to rotated it so the text reads vertically. I want to reference this text in the document, but no matter what heading style I apply it does not appear in the "cross reference" list.
