Dan,
One thing that I feel you might be doing wrong is-
I've gone in and edited the $volnum variable in each of the individual
.fm files and made them A, B, and C.
Instead of editing the individual fm files in the book, you

Hi Nancy,
This suggestion is sent only because you solicited all suggestions in
your appeal.
You might consider assigning a Text format to your preface file so that
the page numbers appear as something similar to:
Preface - 1, Preface - 2, Preface - 3
P - 1, P - 2, P - 3
Or something
You can set the Chapnum variable for the Preface (in the book file) to
text and the value to a space.
Still need to get rid of the hyphen, but if that's manually added to
the $chapnum-$pagenuum string, it's easy to remove.

... In my opinion,
You could use a different marker for the content in your preface, include that
marker in your index, and use different page formatting for that marker. It
would be a new marker type that you would create. You might call it
IndexPreface or something like that.
I have done something similar with

believe he's still doing eval versions. Solid design, bulletproof, and
as you point out, does all kinds of nice tricks.
Probably cuts indexing time in half, without sacrificing quality.
In addition to indexing, IXGen works with
IXgen used to be the gold standard for manipulating FrameMaker markers, and
one that I used to heartily recommend. There are two things that soured me
on IXgen:
1) Upgrade prices are quite high, especially if you only use it
occasionally.
2) IXgen may alter your marker contents, for

Hi Kevin...
MarkerTools is not so much of an Indexing Solution as it is a tool for
making it easier to work with markers.One of the most useful features is
the updated marker dialog that lets you select multiple markers (or all
markers in a file), and browse through them without needing to

You want to be sure to mimic the chapter-page numbering style of the

I think it's in the manual somewhere, but all you need to do is create
a meta-book that contains all the indexable chapters from your doc set

you generate the index, you'll probably need to include a prefix to ID
