Hello,
Several of the Level 1 entries in the index of some of my manuals can have long lists of Level 2 entries under them, and sometimes the long list will break between columns or pages. I would like to begin the new column or page with "Topic A, continued" before resuming the list of Level 2 entries (where "Topic A" is the Level 1 entry). How do I do this? Up to now, I have two choices for dealing with long lists of Level 2 entries that break between pages/columns: (1) Insert a page or column break before the Level 1 entry, which can make that column very short with a lot of empty space (doesn't look very good), or simply allow the list of Level 2 entries to break, with no attempt to keep the list together in one column. Sometimes this works OK, but there are times when neither solution is adequate and I would like to be able to inform the user that an indented list on page 3 of the index is actually continued from the same list on page 2.
The online help offers instructions for inserting continuation variables into tables. I was unable to find any information on how to add one to a long list of Index entries.
I'm using FM version 8 for Windows (running on XP). However, I remember being able to do this many years ago (between 1997 and 2002), so this feature was present in early versions of FM. Unfortunately, I no longer remember how to do it.
Thanks for any help!
