1. Just using FM, no. I use a plug-in, Index Tools Professional (http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html) to let me use variables in the index entries. It's US$20, I believe.
2. Don't think so, but I suspect that FrameScript could change the path throughout a book to link to files with the same names in a different folder. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda G.

Within the text of an index marker? 2. As the directory path of a text inset or a graphic? The purpose is single-sourcing. I want to store the name of a product in a variable. I want the index entries, the screen captures, etc. to update automatically when I change the value of the variable. Are there other approaches to achieve the same goal? (I know that I can use conditional text. I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require an independent condition per product name.)
