Hi All,
First time generating an index with FM.
First of all: how do you get the index to show all the pages that contain a
specific marked word? Example: I've marked the word DIP switch on page 5 and
the word also appears on pages 20, 26, and 30. When I generate the index, it
only shows

I don't know of any...if you find one, lemme know, OK? :-) In the
meantime you might consider creating a script to do the job. If you
don't have FrameScript you could use AutoIT to make a script that uses
Frame's Find function to find/select anchored frames...

I'd vouch for Stuart's comments about using a concordance instead of
an index, and also second the recommendation for IXGen to generate a
real index.
If you're using a concordance _in addition_ to an index, I think I'd
build it from FM Glossary markers and then generate a list of markers.

Dear Framies:
Why I need to export via WordPerfect is that WordPerfect allows for a
concordance file for indexing. Thus one can use a huge concordance (no word
limit) carefully created per subject. This is a huge saving of time
especially for long documents and manuals. I call it machine indexing

Rob,
I have only had to use the FM7.2 PageMaker filter once, and I was very
pleased with the results. It was for a very complex PageMaker 9.0
project: files had complex layout with many disconnected columns, and
"fake" tables (e.g. horizontal tabs with hor/vert rules placed on top of
them.) The

Again,
As has been reported by Adobe, FrameMaker 7 cannot find any custom job
options you create unless you copy the job options to the old default
folder instead of the new one Adobe Distiller uses (see
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/333453.html in the Adobe Support
database).
