Summary: Creating Master Indexes

[Betsy Perry <betsyp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all the Framers who answered my request.  Yes, you can create
multiple-book master indexes, and there are many people out there using
this feature.

Everybody who had created master indexes recommended the same approach:

Set up one "master" book file that includes all the chapters from the
individual books.  Reset the page numbering in all the chapters to
include the index prefix for that book. (One clever Framer recommends
printing the index prefix on the spine of each separate book, as a
location cue!) Generate an index from the master book file. 

Note that you must reset the page numbering whenever you regenerate an
individual book's TOC or index after generating the master index.
