Re: Index Professional Tool
Hi Sindu, I'd just like to add my voice to the chorus of people recommending IXgen. IXgen automates so many repetitive indexing tasks that I literally cannot imagine creating an index in a FrameMaker book without IXgen. I actually included the cost of IXgen as part of the FrameMaker package when I proposed a switch from our previous tool here at my current company. Human review and manipulation of the index IXgen creates is absolutely necessary, of course, but IXgen includes many features that make these tasks much more efficient. In addition to generating index markers based on paragraph formats, character formats, keywords, and other elements, you can use IXgen to generate variations ("permutations") of each entry, split concatenated entries, and so on. I'm not familiar with Index Professional, but I highly recommend IXgen.

Re: Index Professional Tool
Indeed, Ixgen (http://www.fsatools.com) is great! It has become one of those indispensable Framemaker plug-ins, not just to create indexes, but also to manage other "markers", for example TopicAlias markers which we use for the context-sensitive Help. -- Yves Barbion Technical Writer Adobe-Certified FrameMaker Instructor U&I Learning NV (formerly ATeK NV) Molenaarsstraat 111 B-9000 Gent Belgium Tel.: +32 9 265 74 72 Fax: +32 9 265 74 84 www.uni-learning.com ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
