includes all index entries from a set of 10 related books. Can anyone
provide step-by-step instructions?
TIA

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

I will also echo that Bill Swallow's method is what I do. I use a
utility called Indexing Tools Pro to set up the master book, but you can
do it by hand.
Bear in mind that if you are creating a PDF from your master index, the
links won't go to the individual books unless you do some

I am using Frame 10 (10. 0.1.402) with Windows 7. I have a manual with a TOC.
In Frame, when I view the TOC document, the Index title does not appear. It

The estimable Rick Quatro was kind enough to invite me into a GoTo Meeting
session where he was kind enough to point out the solution without making me
feel like a complete idiot.
The solution is to click the TOC document in the book file and go to EditSet

I'm in Frame 9, fully patched.

Sharon,
I never used Frame 9, but in Frame 10, if you select all of the files in the
book, and then build the conditional text settings, they set for the book
level. If you build the expression on a chapter level, it's only for the
chapter.
Thank you,
