• How to find and replace text in the index entries?

  Hello

  Recently, I copied a manual to create a new one for another product. After a global search and replace the product names and other texts, I needed to replace a specific word that appears in the index entries.

  I noticed the search box would allow me to search the text of the marker, but I had to replaceme the word by hand - cut and paste the new Word, click on change the marker to save it and then find the next occurrence.

  It's with frame 7.2. Does anyone know a faster way to do this?

  Yours,

  Michael F.

  Peter,

  Thanks for the lead.

  I downloaded the zip file and all it contains is a DLL file, but no instructions.

  What should I do to make it work and how do I know that it works?

• All words with a certain style of character is automatically possible in the index entries?

  CS4 on Mac. I have a document where each occurrence of the first use of terms important was given a character style called "first." Is there a way I could do automatically each index entry?

  Hi Mary,

  This can be done using a script by Peter Kahrel.

• Find the page source for the index entries

  In ID CS4, I could Alt-Ctrl-click on the page number of an entry in my index and it would take me to the source page. This doesn't seem to work in CS5. Y at - it a keyboard shortcut that will do it, so I can check my index entries are correct?

  Click the entry in the Panel Index, to open it. This will display a list of occurrences; Select one, then click on one of the itty bitty small icons at the bottom to go (I think it's on the left).

  FM has allowed you to click directly in the generated index? Cool ID only adds hyperlinks in an exported PDF file.

• Create an array of Virtual Machines with an index to allow the selection of the index entry

  I would like to help with the following.

  Using the GET - vm to return all the virtual machines in a table or a table, but with a number of index against each of them. Perhaps even the number of its position in the matrix or $myarray [0]. I am struggling with the best way to go, be it a table to 2 dimensions or an object, but then how do I get the numbers in there.

  The reason for this is to present a list of virtual machines with a number on the side, to which the user then enters the number instead of having to type the name of the virtual machine.

  Ideally resembling:

  vCenter 0

  1 Exchange

  2 FilePrint

  3 SQL

  4 DC

  $vms = $get - vm | Select name

  1. a way to get the number. ##

  $vmsindexed =?

  '' This is the virtual machines to the choice.

  " "

  $vmindexed

  " "

  $selectedNum = read-host "enter the number of the Virtual Machine to power on.

  $selectedVM = $vms [$selectedNum]

  "You have selected Machine virtual $selectedVM.

  " "

  Start-VM - VM $selectedVM

  Thank you in advance, I'm going crazy thinking about it!

  The following script will give you a list of virtual machines with a number on the front, then you can type the number, choose the virtual machine you want to start:

  $VMs = Get-VM
  $VMsArray = @()
  $VMs | ForEach-Object { $VMsArray += $_.Name }
  Write-Output "Here are the virtual machines to choose from"
  Write-Output ""
  For ($i = 0; $i -lt $VMsArray.Length; $i++ ) { Write-Output "$i $($VMsArray[$i])"}
  Write-Output ""
  $SelectedNum = Read-Host "Enter the number of the Virtual Machine to Power On"
  $SelectedVM = $VMsArray[$SelectedNum]
  Write-Output "You have selected Virtual Machine $SelectedVM"
  Write-Output ""
  Start-VM -VM $selectedVM -Confirm

• Add the already existing Word variation entry in the index

  Dear common wisdom:

  Hello!

  I got a clue and want to add a variation of a word already in the index and that InDesign can use these two words in the index listing, not as a list of void.

  For simplicity, say that I was the forms of the singular and the plural of the word stand together under the same heading.

  How can I do this?

  Thank you!

  CJ

  The index entry that you insert in the dialog box is one that gets listed in the final. If you have 'index' and 'clues' and you add the entry to the 'clues', ID displays the dialog box, add an entry to this word. Change to 'index', and ID which will be used instead.

  (In fact, the word selected or the expression in the dialog box is simply a practical method. You can also change the text of 'wow' - ee, to have that appear in the index. ('Enter' has nothing to do with the 'real' text in your document - which is kind of pain if make you corrections and wait for the index to follow automatically.)

• FrameMaker 8: Possible to combine the index the same page entries?

  Is it possible in FrameMaker to have several identical index on one page entries 'sink' into a single entry?

  For example, if I a document which includes index for "Adams, John" entries on pages 13 and 14, the index shows "Adams, John, 13, 14". " If I can do some changes that cause the second entry to appear on the same page as the first entry (for example, by not including not not certain conditional text), the index shows "Adams, John, 13, 13.

  Other than the removal of the second index mark, is possible to have the index generate like "Adams, John, 13"?

  Thank you!

  The index entries were added within the FM, or were they imported and text from another application (such as Word)?

  If you want really legal to this topic, I would save the file as MIF, then we the freebie MIFBrowse

  http://www.grahamwideman.com/GW/tech/FrameMaker/mifbrowse.htm

  to look at each entry (if you have not yet seen MIF, it can be a little 'dense' to digest, but the best thing is to first search for a rather unique word which could be just before entries and then move down through the screen until you find the index entries).

  Or, if time is critical, I had it just delete the entries, save, then re-create them, being extremely careful, that it is not all the differences in their and update.

  Another possibility may be less if the reference of the index page has been inadvertently damaged - you could try to add a new index to the book and see if it generates correctly.

  Edit: on the other issues, please post the separate Forum ("topics") for each of them, otherwise it's hard for everyone offer advice if several problems are addressed in a single thread.  And, it is always helpful if you specify exactly which version of FM you use (help > on, "pxxx" numbers) and your platform + service pack level, too, it helps to avoid a lot of confusion.

• The formatting Index entries.

  Hi all

  Is it possible to apply with Index shaped like italics, bold entries etc. using javascript in Windows.  InDesign CS3 5.0.4.

  Kind regards

  Imagine.

  Then, as in

  bacteria

  254 Commons

  E. coli 255

  other 256

  The problem is that ID cannot store formatting information in an index entry (as it does not work in the variables for running headers and references paragraphs). You have to think about something like marking the formatting with codes in the entries, and then change them after the index generation.

  For example, mark italic [i]... [/ i] in the index entry ' bacteria: [i] [/i] e. coli. " After you generate, use a GREP search-replace to remove the codes and apply italic.

  [Ed.] Important: Add the original entry (without your codes) in the genre - as a field! Otherwise, the above example will be sorted as 'symbol' [(ou peut-être il viendra sous «i»).]

• 2015 RoboHelp. Main project generated does not recognize subcategories in the keywords in the index.

  I have a master project containing external links to many projects (more than 70) and all the index entries are combined to create a master index for the help system. After I upgraded to RH2015 and I generated the subproject both main project, keyword/subkeyword relationships disappeared. Entry index keywords are listed without any subcatgories although the project has them. Like this:

  

  So now I have a giant list of keywords without the indentations to delimit groups of keywords. I did a large part of the index by hand using the properties of the section and the format "keyword\subkeyword". This delimiter has changed? Anyone know or have the same problem? Am I missing a value somewhere?

  I was by the who is new and Forums here, but don't see anything.

  Thanks in advance.

• Follow-up to my index entries

  If I create an index entry in my document, how can I follow this entry later to see where it is referenced? For example, I see the arrow that represents the index entry in the body of the text, but cannot see where it is in the list of references.

  Select the Index mark in your text and look at the reference in the Index panel. Page number will be highlighted.

• Swedish reference in the index, always in the order of the English alphabet

  My Indesign is in English but the text is in Swedish. I can do the headers of the index in the Swedish alphabet, making, correctly, the letters A, O and has come last, but the headers are always classified in English. For example, in Swedish, starting with en subheading would go ahead starting with Fo subheading. But adobe indexing o reads like an o and it highlights the r.

  Is there any help out there or will I cut and paste the index entries? Thank you, Linnea

  
  

  Linnea,

  You must set the default language for the document as well. The language applied to text is not serious, but a default language. To set the default language for the document, make sure that nothing is selected (press Shift + Ctrl + A or its Mac equivalent), open the character Panel, then select Swedish. Now your index will sort correctly, no need to do anything with the fields of sort order.

  InDesign behavior is strange here and fix clearly. It's like this:

  = To get the sorted words correctly to their first letter, you must set the header type in the Sorting Options window

  = To get words sorted correctly by the rest of the letters, you must set the default language for the document.

• Topics don't appears in the index

  I use RH10, HTML version to generate PDFS.  I have patients who use a white font on a dark background:

  

  When I generate the Index, the topics using the white font not displayed.  However, the subjects who use black font appear:

  

  The index entries are structured using the section properties:

  

  How can I get the subjects using white font appears in the Index?

  In fact just by selecting the index would confirm the theory. The text would show against the selection color.

• List invalid index entries

  I imported MS Word documents with index entries (Cyrillic and Latin alphabetet, quotes, etc.).

  Now I want to generate indexes and I have the alert:

  "The index could not be generated.

  One or more index entries contains invalid characters.

  Please remove all invalid characters in the index entries.

  Where can I find the full list of characters which Adobe defines as invalid?

  You don't think that Preflight to verify and mark these characters?

  Thanks Jongware,

  I thoroughly have the bug.

  In Polish typography should be used in compound words , pair of characters in: conditional dash and hyphen nonbreaking to resume link on the left edge of the column. (He is Polish and Slovak rulez).

  This pair worked very well in CS2.

  (From cs3 or cs4 I don't remember) is not important to this pair of characters, just language Polish or Slovak of choice. And these hyphens are duplicated on the left edge of a column on the fly.

  But the docx file import engine still has the bug. If someone put such pair for MS Word, docx file, InDesign cs 5.5 cannot import properely in the InDesign document.

  I checked the my document idml file

  Reference topic should be Yat - Kha. In MS Word, there is [conditional and hyphen nonbreaking hyphen] Kha

  but inside the reference in idml topic file is something like this I sgned in bold:

  ReferencedTopic = "u1b3TopicnYat<?" 001f HELP? > <? 001e HELP? ' >Kha.

  I don't know what? 001f HELP? and? 001E help?

  But I know now that there are invalid characters

  That was the problem.

• Get pages referenced in the Index of each pageReference

  Hello!

  I'm working on a script that tries to examine all references on each topic of an index page to remove duplicates and build page ranges...

  So far, I get the referenceType for each pageReference, but it returns only the 'referenceType' and not the current page as the object model Indesign 8 wrote:

  PageReferenceType.CURRENT_PAGE (read-only)

  Data type: number, value: 1668444263

  Adobe InDesign CS6 (8,0) Object Model

  The page where the index entry.

  The followin script write in console the name of each topic and its references (as if 1668444263 is of type CURRENT_PAGE), and I would get the real current page number...

  Any help really appreciated!

  var index = app.documents [0] .indexes [0];

  for (i = 0; i < index.topics.length; i ++)

  {

  .write $("sujet:" + index.topics[i].name + "\n");

  for (t = 0; t < index.topics [i].pageReferences.length; t ++)

  {

  pRef = index.topics [i] .pageReferences [t] .pageReferenceType var;

  .write $(pRef + "\n");

  }

  }

  The type tells you what type of index entry page number it is :)

  Try .sourceText- http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs6js/pc_PageReference.html#sourceText - that points to the PointInsertion in the text, the location of the index entry itself. From that you can use its parentTextframe and next one parentPage to get the page number (which should be the 'name' of the page).

• Index entry contains invalid characters

  I inserted 11000 index markers in the text (laws in a book of business or great law) files, and import that they appear correctly in the index Panel. But when I want to generate the index, the dreaded message arrives:

  "The index could not be generated. One or more index entries contains invalid characters. Please remove all invalid characters from the index entries. »

  From what I've been able to collect discussions found elsewhere, this is sometimes caused by caractΦres inserted as separators etc. in the dialog box 'Generate the Index', but it's not those, I checked.

  Also, most of the entries are very similar (cases and articles) and I tried to generate an index with just a few pages of text containing the same type of entries, and then it works fine.

  Any suggestions?

  Make a copy of your document.

  Then, start cutting it upward. Remove half the story (or half of the pages). Problem still there?

  Remove the half once again? Repeat, repeat, repeat.

  Isolate the text at the origin of the problem.

  Perhaps begin by making sure it actually works with a single sentence, however.
