ABSTRACT:
A software tool that allows a user to combine a number of smaller documents and then to index the combined documents. A bookfile contains one or more documents, each document containing its own indexing information. The user can drag and drop names of bookfiles into the tool. The invention also compensates for various formats and versions of the documents. A preferred embodiment of the present invention operates on FrameMaker 4.0 documents and can also handle mixed FrameMaker version 3.0 and version 4.0 documents. The software tool combines the documents and generates a master index for all the documents. The software tool also allows the user to specify abbreviations and long titles to use in the index generated for each bookfile.
