Index Professional Tool

[Andrew Becraft]

Hi Sindu,

I'd just like to add my voice to the chorus of people recommending 
IXgen. IXgen automates so many repetitive indexing tasks that I 
literally cannot imagine creating an index in a FrameMaker book without 
IXgen. I actually included the cost of IXgen as part of the FrameMaker 
package when I proposed a switch from our previous tool here at my 
current company.

Human review and manipulation of the index IXgen creates is absolutely 
necessary, of course, but IXgen includes many features that make these 
tasks much more efficient. In addition to generating index markers 
based on paragraph formats, character formats, keywords, and other 
elements, you can use IXgen to generate variations ("permutations") of 
each entry, split concatenated entries, and so on.

I'm not familiar with Index Professional, but I highly recommend IXgen.
