Greetings!

I'm going in circles here. I have a marker of type Index with the content "America:Coinage Act of 1965". This appears in the index as a line under "America", indented to the second level (correct so far), but with only a page number, no text. I copied and pasted the marker content into the preceding line. I must be missing something, but I cannot figure out what. I have removed and recreated the marker from scratch, to no avail. Can someone see an error on my part here?

If entered as stated, you should be fine.

But, after having specialized in FM indexes for 20+ years, we have seen some odd things happen with markers...

1. Was this document originally created in Word then imported to FM? Sometimes those converted markers are "dirty" and contain unseen, unprintable characters that can cause odd FM behavior. BTW, there is NO CR or LF in the entry, correct? Your entry is one string, on one line in the marker?

2. Try a "MIF wash." But this won't remove unwanted "bad" characters. It will just refresh/rebuild the object lists.

3. For fun, put a new marker, hand typed, at or near the same place (no copy and paste). Does that new entry work?

4. If you're really adventurous, save as MIF, search for the entry, and see what all might be included with that marker. (Relates to #1, above.)

If all of the above fails, feel free to send us a copy of the doc for evaluation.

Hope this helps,
