RE: How to automatically import index and cross-reference entries from Word 7 to FM 7.2 or 8?

You don't have to do anything. FM will pick them up. The Xrefs are no problem at all. They will be either of these Xref formats: Imported Format PageNum, Xref$pagenum Imported Format ParaText, Xref$paratext The index entries are a problem, but the solution is easy. For every index entry

If you choose Create Hypertext Linksin the Index dialog box, you can isolate an index marker from its clustered buddies by Ctrl+Alt+Clicking on an index entry. This highlights the entry's marker; the marker text appears in the Marker window. Or Find Marker Type Index, then Find Next. Mike,

Yes, that big black T confounds me. I went to the broken cross reference, clicked on it, and it opened the title page and displayed, via the dialog box, that it knew exactly where it was supposed to go to find its source. So the cross reference knows what its source is, and the source is there,

It sounds as if Adobe PDF isn't set as the default printer (it should be) and you may be invoking a printer font that isn't actually installed on your system but is resident on the printer. Not directly related to this, but you may want to check the DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics= line in maker.ini

Bingo! That was the answer. Now the bold looks, well, bold when I print the PDF. I didn't dig deep enough in the FM folder to find where the fonts were. Silly me, I didn't think they'd be that buried if FM installed fonts. My bad. Thanks, Paul! ~ Linda G. Gallagher

Are you sure the font is actually installed on your system? Look in \windows\fonts for it. Some fonts are "printer resident." These are fonts that are hardwired inside your desktop printer. The printer driver tells Windows how to display these fonts on screen-- and, since the fonts are
