Rob,

If you look at the .mif version of an .fm file, you will see text like this:

<Para
   <Unique 998295>
   <PgfTag `Title2'>
   <ParaLine
    <String `Application of Modern '>
    <Char HardReturn>
   > # end of ParaLine
   <ParaLine
    <String `Electrical Exploratory '>
   > # end of ParaLine
   ...


Each paragraph in your file is assigned a unique identifier, and even a 
very short file will use 6-digit id's.  I believe that what you are 
seeing in the error message is the unique ID of the destination that 
your index item points to.

That's probably not very helpful in solving your problem, and I'm sorry 
I have no idea what the cause is.  But perhaps it provides a clue.

Good luck,
