Do paragraphs 1717 and 1734 occur on consecutive pages? If so, FrameMaker is behaving exactly as designed. The <$autorange> option is desinged to indicate a page range in the index whenever the same entry text appears in index markers that are on a consecutive series of *pages*. Your index may be built around paragraph numbers, but <$autorange> only works an a page- wise basis.
Unless I'm mistaken, the only way you can get paragraph ranges to be indicated in your index is to explicitly code them with <$startrange> and <$endrange> building blocks in the appropriate index markers. -Fred Ridder >From: "Rob Shell" <rshell at iafrica.com> >To: <framers at lists.frameusers.com> >Subject: <$autorange> issues >Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2007 18:43:42 +0200 > >Hi guys: >I am having trouble with the <$autorange> feature.
