Thanks for the compliment.

If you examine the index in the sample Ecology book (included in the 
samples/overview/book folder under the FrameMaker installation folder), and 
inspect the hypertext markers and their active area, you will see that the 
index terms are active together with the first hypertext markers, as single 
links. However, if the definitions had been such that the page numbers had 
a different character format, this would have interfered with the link 
extending to include the term.
