Oops, that doesn't surprise me. I know enough Perl to be dangerous and less shell scripting. As said, I could see doing a proper (Perl) script that follows an external list of items to be found and indexed, but I think someone already mentioned that something for this exists. (And here is one I just turned up but haven't yet examined) https://gna.org/projects/latex-indexbuild/ The implemented system in Lyx is nice and quick for occasional references, but if you later decide that you want to change the index listing for, let's say, "Ford" to "Ford Motor Cars" then you either have to modify each and every Idx or do a careful S/R outside of Lyx. -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations
