How can I repeat a link on every page of a chapter

Hi! I have FrameMaker book with a chapter containing a list of definitions and abbreviations.  On the first page of the chapter, I created an alphabet list with links to paragraph cross-references (I created a paragraph style for the start of each letter section) and each letter is a link to that section.  It looks like this:

 

 

It works great and I want to repeat it on every page of the chapter - is this possible in FrameMaker? I know how to do it in the pdf, that's not what I'm looking for. 

Thanks!

Karen

    I think if you copy and paste that line of links into a frame on the master page that it will work. You'd want to be sure to move your flow frame down so that the xref frame could be at the top and not interfere with your text. You also should make sure the frame has no tag and is not autoconnected.

     

    ETA: I do not think you can click on the links while IN FrameMaker (no ctrl+alt+click), but I think they'll work once you publish to PDF.

      MP content works. Having it be different for each Chapter could be a bit more challenging.

      PDF out is fine, but having it flow into HTML output won't work.

      I think they only want it for the one chapter, though, and it sounds like the only output they're worried about is PDF.
