How to force capital letters in a generated Index?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

You could also use CudSpan's MarkerWorker:
http://www.cudspan.net/plugins/

I used it in FrameMaker 10 without any problems.
It does not provide automatization to change the
first character in an index marker. However, you
could search for it and then replace with the
corresponding character with upper case:
\pa
with Consider Case activated.
Replace with: \pA
Then similarly for the other characters.

Best regards

Winfried

You're best to edit the markers and not rely on a quick fix via formatting.

I don't know if it's available for or compatible with FM 11 but IXGen is ideal for your needs. http://www.fsatools.com/

If you can't use or purchase IXGen, you're best to use a generated index or list of markers to produce a file with cross references to each marker, then Ctrl+click to edit each one.

I am generating an Index in FrameMaker 11, but the index words have been inserted in the markers with a mix of capital letters and small letters. It's a big index and I would like to be able to force all words to have the first character as a capital letter. Can I somehow tweak the paragraph style into doing this or is there any other kind of FrameMaker magic which will do the trick?
