Yes...

I am setting a bibibliography with numbered items.
I want the indexes (5, yes 5) to reflect not page numbers but the number of 
the index entry, which I have successfully numbered. Thus a main entry looks 
like this:

The answer must be on the reference pages of the faulty indexes. Check that you 
have a correctly-formatted index building block in the IX flow of the index's 
reference pages that corresponds to each relevant paraIX para tag in the body 
of the index.

(As an aside, don't forget to apply the correct para formatting to the 
SeparatorsIX and IndexIX building blocks in the IX reference flow, otherwise 
you'll end up with index entries in your chosen body font but separators and 
page numbers in FrameMaker's default font. We've all done it...)

pagenumonly and bibliographies

[Rob Shell]

Hi Framies:
I am 6 months into the legendary Framemaker, I love it. 

I need a better manual. Is there such an animal? 

I am setting a bibibliography with numbered items.
I want the indexes (5, yes 5) to reflect not page numbers but the number of the 
index entry, which I have successfully numbered. Thus a main entry looks like 
this:

456  Smith, John David. Black slavery in the Americas. Westport: Greenwood 
Press, 1982. The most comprehensive bibliography on United States slavery.

I have entered the pagenumonly into the correct place in the reference pages, 
namely the index specifications.

HOWEVER:

Only one index works, i.e. uses para numbers namely the standard index. This is 
perfect as in:C
Cape Colony in the 18th-century436

Cape Colony, 1657-1750 440

Cape slave voyage to Madagascar in French translation 427

Christmas choir parades 1483

The subsidiary indexes Titles, Authors, Places  reflect page numbers not 
paranumbers.
Thus:
A
adultery 67
alcohol issues 65

auctions 78


I have tried importing the formats; I have printed out the reference pages, but 
cannot figure out where I am going wrong.
