Find an old index that works and import all styles from it. That should erase the problem.

Subject: Persistent issues with indexing in FM 9

Dear Framers:
I posted a plea for help with an indexing issue of book.
I have used the indexing function of FM for years with no problems.
Now whenever I update my files I get a white screen and the application hangs.
I have tried other files with the same result.
I have reinstalled with a full uninstall, still no joy

Tammy, if you have Shlomo Peret's enhanced toolbar, one of its tools is to copy a table width to the clipboard. (If I'm mistkane here and is a Frame feature, I apologize. I've copied my .ini file and plug-ins from so many versions of FM I no longer know which tool goes with what plugin.)

So if I were you, I'd make one pass through the tables and add a row to each table using a keyboard macro; then I'd make a second pass through the tables, select the right-most column, and paste the width from the clipboard. It might save a few mouse-clicks.

Shlomo's toolbar also has "Add column to right" and "Add row below" buttons
-- very handy. Highly recommended for these and many, many other features.

Here's an AutoIt macro for adding a column and resizing it. Install AutoIt (free). Find "Any Table" and copy the desirted "table column width" before running the macro.
Let me know if you need any help running it.

*; Adds a column to the right of each table ; Find "Any Table" and copy a "table column width" before running this macro

Dim $max
Dim $x = 1

$max = InputBox("","How many iterations?","5") WinActivate("Adobe
FrameMaker") WinWaitActive("Adobe FrameMaker") While $x <= $max
    Sleep(200) ; pause 100 milliseconds
    Send("^+f") ; find next (CTRL+SHIFT+f)
    Sleep(200) ; pause 100 milliseconds
    Send("{ESC}tme") ; move insertion point to rightmost cell
    Sleep(200) ; pause 100 milliseconds
    Send("{ESC}tcr") ; add column to the right
    Sleep(200) ; pause 100 milliseconds
    Send("^v") ; paste (CTRL+v)
    $x = $x + 1
WEnd

I corrected a mistake in the code comments.

; Adds a column to the right of each table ; Find "Any Table" and copy a "table column width" before running

Dim $max
Dim $x = 1

$max = InputBox("","How many iterations?","5") WinActivate("Adobe
FrameMaker") WinWaitActive("Adobe FrameMaker") While $x <= $max
    Sleep(200) ; pause 200 milliseconds
