If you use Frame on a Mac, I've written an AppleScript that displays all index entries for a single file (not all files in a book, that's a *major* project) and allows you to search for and edit text inside entries. Let me know if you want it & I'll send you the source code. Things I'd like to figure out how to do -- delete entries and jump to an entry's location. Maybe when we get 5.5.6 and I can take advantage of fcodes. Larry ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
