Hi Kevin... MarkerTools is not so much of an "Indexing Solution" as it is a tool for making it easier to work with markers.One of the most useful features is the updated marker dialog that lets you select multiple markers (or all markers in a file), and browse through them without needing to select each marker individually. This dialog is big enough to see all of the text in a marker, and in addition to many other features, lets you insert Frame variables into markers. You can download a fully functional version and try it for 30 days for free.
