RE: Word to Frame and index ranges

["Cathy Gilmore" <cathygilmore@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a solution my client required:
Rather than using bookmarks, the writer (in Word) must use use this coding
in indes entries (if "page range" is the text being indexed):

{ XE "page ranges<$startrange>" }
{ XE "page ranges<$endrange>" }

and for Index entries that are Cross References:
{ XE "cross-references. <charcntd>See<Default Para Font>
cross-references<$nopage> }

We used this solution where authors were using Word, but Frame was used for
the final output. Your index wont look correct in Word, but it will import
correctly into Frame.

Subject: Word to Frame and index ranges


I know this isn't a new problem because I've seen some posts around but no
solution or comments.

I'm converting a Word 2000 document into Frame (6 and/or 7--happens in
both) and the single index markers import fine. Those with ranges don't.

The Word bookmark is importing as a Cross-reference. Any solutions for
this? Workarounds? Anything?

I could swear this worked at one time but I honestly don't remember Word
using "bookmarks" to enter page ranges.
