Bottom? Must be the only site on the planet that doesn't have it at the top. Google style. TBT, Chris, if I ever saw it at the bottom, it just didn't register as I wasn't looking for it by the time I got to the bottom of a page. > There's a full index link, PageIndex, at the top of every page. Short of downloading the related pdf, opening it in acroread, there is not today, a link that takes you to the gcode, mcode or ocode descriptions in one or 2 clicks. The search function may do it, but in the middle of the night, up because it feels like someone is running acupuncture needles under my left kneecap, + recycle the last glass of ice water & check my email so I don't lose my geek creds, so it won't get checked yet tonight. > Any other kind of index other than a simple list of pages has to be > generated by a human - please help if you have ideas. At one point, some time back, ISTR there was a link, buried to be sure, under "2.5 docs" that gave one an index to every paragraph bold faced heading like home switches that took you directly to that page. I recall finding it maybe 6 weeks back when I put switches on this lathe, but I couldn't find it again when I asked the question that started this thread. Which is why I asked. But I guess I'll get started on plan B, modifying the X ballnut so it will fit in the allocated space under the table. Unless somebody shoots that idea down. Description & query about the suitability is out there. Thanks for the heads on on the search boxes location, Chris.
