You can also do it in Excel with a little ingenuity. Agreed that a spreadsheet application is not one's most intuitive thought for text processing, but it was the only tool I had to hand recently when trying to do something similar (maintain a large list of glossary definitions and check for duplicates). Use and IF()function on a sorted list of text strings to check for dupes, and apply conditional formatting to highlight them if you want to get cute ;-) Oh drat, I see Bernard's already suggested this... -- Steve ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: utility to check that all heading names are unique?
Here's a webpage that finds duplicates: http://www.techmynd.com/tools/remove-duplicate-lines.php Save the list of paragraphs as text, paste it in the above page, select "Find Mode," then click "Remove Duplicate Lines." The duplicates are inclosed by DUPLICATE=><=DUPLICATE, which you can easily search for. It might be better not to sort the list of paragraphs alphabetically, so you can see the location of the duplicate. If you don't like this utility you can found lots more by google searching for "find duplicate lines." ** Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 052-763-7133 On 17-May-12 8:47 PM, Robert Lauriston wrote: Skimming an alphabetical list of a thousand or more headings is not a very efficient or reliable way for me to find duplicates.

Oh yeah, of course. At the end of the reference pages for the generated paragraph list file there's an APL page that defines the output. Thanks.

Adding an alphabetical list of paragraphs creates an APL page containing an APL flow in the reference pages. That flow defines the generated list just like the TOC flow defines the TOC. Remove the <$pagenum> building blocks from the *APL paragraphs, leaving just <$paratext>. Save and regenerate. Richard G.

As with all generated files, find the appropriate flow ("APL" in the
case of Alphabetical Paragraph List) in the reference pages and delete
the <$pagenum> building block from each line. Save and regenerate.

RE: utility to check that all heading names are unique?
The idea of an alphabetical generated list is a good one, and here are a few further tips. Build it, but then configure the reference pages to drop the pg number. In the resulting generated file select all the content, then copy it to Excel. In Excel you can select all the content and apply a filter to highlight duplicates. There are several other tips on the Excel side of things, but this is a pretty easy way to flag the duplicates for editing in Frame.
