I heartily second David Artman’s recommendation, and it appears as though IXgen 
will do the trick.

 

Disclaimer:  <kidding>David Artman and I are not related, despite our common 
first name, but</kidding> I am a well-satisfied user of IXgen.

Subject: RE: How to force capital letters in a generated Index?

 

Short answer: no; there's no way to use paragraph styles to enforce initial 
captals. You could force all caps, as a quick hack.

 

More-relevant answer: You shouldn't do this, anyway. I feelt that indexes 
should use capitalizattion as driven by tthe indexed terms. So, proper nouns 
and such get capitalized; plain-old terms don't; and maybe your special terms 
(e.g., GUI elements) follow capitalization of the user interface.

        I am generating an Index in FrameMaker 11, but the index words have 
been 
        inserted in the markers with a mix of capital letters and small 
letters. 
        It's a big index and I would like to be able to force all words to have 
        the first character as a capital letter. Can I somehow tweak the 
        paragraph style into doing this or is there any other kind of 
FrameMaker 
        magic which will do the trick?
        
        regards
        Bjørn Smalbro
