Creating something along the lines of a different index is definitely possible. That would involve inserting a marker for each entry. In your case, this might be the way to go to create a Feature TOC. Insert a particular type of marker and generate a list of those markers. Hmm... But could you get that list to sort the way an index does without having to do the table sort that I originally brought up? I'd have to investigate that.

I'm SO glad that I'm not alone.  :-)  I love "talking shop" about tech writing, FrameMaker, editing, templates, graphics...
