Not in any automated way.  It might help you jump around your legacy FM
files using hyperlinking similar to the Ctrl-Alt-click method in your
compiled index, but that is all.

Personally, I would open up the corresponding legacy and revised files, use
Find to locate the Index markers in the legacy files, copy each one, and
paste it in the corresponding location in your new files.

Acrobat 4.05.2, mif2go 31r25, IXgen 5.5.h]
