Hi, Fei Min: I think there's a FrameMaker plug-in or script that adds the ability you want. Try searching Google and the various fora for variations on see also plugin, FrameMaker plug-ins, etc.
I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned it by name, yet. Perhaps re-titling your subject to something like "FrameMaker see-also TOC enhancement needed," you'd get more focused responses. ________________ Regards, Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices On 6/27/07, FeiMin_Lorente at amis.com <FeiMin_Lorente at amis.com> wrote: > This is my first time creating an index in FrameMaker in over 10 years, so > I'm a bit out of touch.
