Hi, 

Thanks for all the good replies. 

I'd rather not add the index separately in the main book, as I sometimes 
publish the document in a "stand-alone" version, and I like to try to keep my 
books as free from generated files as possible. 

Steve Rickaby's answer did it for me - his comment: "Text inserts do have 
paragraph tags..." made me go Duh! and add "GroupTitlesIX" to the reference 
page for IndexLeft, IndexRight master page application. Now it works fine - 
thanks Steve (and the rest of you)!

-Niels

-> Subject: Two-column index
-> 
-> Hi Framers,
-> 
-> I run into this problem regularly (on FrameMaker 7.1):
-> 
-> I have a book consisting of quite a number of documents. 
-> Some of these documents have an index of their own (for 
-> historical reasons... And because making a book-wide index 
-> wouldn't make any sense).
-> 
-> The text flow in each document is single-column, right/left, 
-> with room for sideheads. Now when I generate an index, I 
-> import it into the document (just like a TOC). But naturally 
-> I want the index to be two-column...
-> 
-> As far as I can see, there is no way of doing this. I can 
-> apply a master page on the index heading, but that only 
-> covers the page on which the heading is situated, not the 
-> subsequent pages. I made a script which can reformat the 
-> text frame from a certain point onwards, but since the 
-> document is part of a book, adding or deleting pages 
-> elsewhere in the book will shift the whole thing - in short, 
-> it's a nightmare to maintain!
-> 
-> Anybody got an idea?
-> 
-> -Niels
