     David,

     Frame's search engine lets you search for specific types of markers
     (index, c.f.s, TOC, etc.). You can use this to distinguish different
     markers, or to jump to each marker of a certain type, even if you have
     10 in a row.

     If you have the Marker box open when you do the search, it displays
     the marker text when you find a marker.

     And if you have more than one index reference in a marker, you can
     find it by searching for marker text.

     The useful information you mention is readily available.

     Besides, FrameMaker has a sense of humor, although I can't mention the
     spellchecker joke without annoying Eric. :-)

     Interleaf is the hands-down winner here, no questions asked.  Frame's
     problem is that index and cross reference markers:

       o Are indistinquishable from eachother

       o Show up as 1 marker even if you have 10 in a row.

         (Yes, I know you can put more than one index reference
         in a marker.  But if you do, you can't determine how many
         index references you've made at that location.  This loses
         useful information.)
