Hi All,

I have a strange issue..."Index markers are misplaced"...please help me on this.

My need is to find keywords with a specific ParagraphStyle and to add index for it.

So, i wrote script to findGrep the specified pStyle, loop through them and added index topic.

But unfortunately, index markers are not placed at the founded text (places somewhere else)

please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks

Hello,

Try adding the index markers in reverse order.

There is a free script here, that might do what you want.

Hi Pickory,

Thanks for your responce and the Link.

While i face this at the first time, i changed to reverse order, but it doesn't became a solution for me.

I have tested with the Script provided from given Link and the issue is still exists.

Below is my Script:

    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "H2";
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.+\$[A-Z]\$$";     // REGEX TO MATCH THE EXACT INDEX ENTRY
    var myFinds = myDoc.findGrep();
    for (i=myFinds.length-1; i>=0; i--)
    {
        var myTxt = myFinds.contents;
        var myTopic = myDoc.indexes[0].topics.add(myTxt).pageReferences.add(myFinds);
    }
    alert("Index Generated Successfully.!");
