So, this is just a theory that I have, but we're in a similar situation,
converting our existing Word docs and their bazillions of cross-references
to an online format, where seeing the "on page XX" part of the reference
doesn't make sense.

The page references are inserted using the above/below, so that "on page"
is a part of the Pageref field, and now I?m hoping that using RoboHelp
conditional tags, or some other bit of automagicical macroness, I can mark
those Pageref fields as invisible for the on-line version and visible for
the print version.

Maybe we'll be lucky and some other techwr-ler will have already come up
with a brilliant solution...
