I have FM10 and would like to mark key words that are used repeatedly in the book or document and have all duplicates of these words in the index automatically. Does anyone know if there is there a feature or easy procedure for this? Thanks Glenn

    1. Save (in case the Change All has unintended side effects).
    2. Mark an instance of the word/phrase for indexing.

      I'd suggest inserting the marker, or moving the marker, to within the word, so that the marker gets selected (and also so that if the word starts with a Frame-inserted marker, the markers aren't on top of each other).
    3. Select the word/phrase, including the marker.
    4. Execute a Copy.
    5. Edit > Find/Change
      Find: Text: word/phrase
      Change: By Pasting
    6. Clone case
      [Change All]

    Hi Glenn,

    as far as I know the Plug-In "Index Markers by Configuration" might solve your problem. It allows you to automatically enter index markers in a document. The information about the context (find string and parameters) is located in a configuration file. For the document, you can either create a new configuration file or edit the existing one. Then you can enter the desired Index Markers. Hope this helps!

    Using the keywords tools in IXGen would be the best way to go.... by Frank Stearns.

    I think you're looking at a Framescript or plug-in (like IXGen maybe?) do that for you.

    > Change: By Pasting

    This works well only if the instances of the target word/phrase are all the same paragraph format, and there are no character format overrides or named character formats applied. The pasting will otherwise results in at least a paragraph format override.

    I was also impressed that it even worked. Pasting text containing markers sometimes does not. For example, pasting text with Xref markers within the same document result in the marker being dropped from the copy.

    Hey Error,

    I found that out and it is a little quirky at times but the benefits' out way any of that. I definitely can live with it.

    Thanks for all your help, you really find solutions that are feasible and work, not suggestions to use other products.   You helped me another time also. 

    You are awesome. 

    Glenn
