Hi Niels,
Does the index need the sidehead area?

Hi Framers,
I run into this problem regularly (on FrameMaker 7.1):
I have a book consisting of quite a number of documents. Some of these
documents have an index of their own (for historical reasons... And because
making a book-wide index wouldn't make any sense).
The text flow in each document is single-column, right/left, with room for
sideheads. Now when I generate an index, I import it into the document (just
like a TOC). But naturally I want the index to be two-column...
As far as I can see, there is no way of doing this. I can apply a master
page on the index heading, but that only covers the page on which the
heading is situated, not the subsequent pages. I made a script which can
reformat the text frame from a certain point onwards, but since the document
is part of a book, adding or deleting pages elsewhere in the book will shift
the whole thing - in short, it's a nightmare to maintain!
Anybody got an idea?
-Niels
