If you'd like an easy way to generate an "uber" book from a number of
other books, grab our ComboBook plugin ..
http://leximation.com/tools/info/combobook.php
It's free.
Yes .. you'll notice that it hasn't been updated for some time. If you
need to install on FM8 or newer, send me an email off list and I'll
point you at a manual install package.
Cheers,
...scott

It's been years since I've done this, but I think I got around this by
creating one large master book using all content from all other books,
not messing with page numbering, using a variable in each consumed
book's chapters to indicate which book it is, and then using that
variable in my Index definition. I'd then set the numbering properties
just for my index file so it looks like it's its own document,
generate it, and then only publish that index file (with cover and
what have you). Granted, this is all from memory from many years ago,
so it might not be 100% accurate but what we did worked very well at
that time.

I am working with FrameMaker 8 and want to make a master index that includes
all index entries from a set of 10 related books. Can anyone provide
step-by-step instructions?
