      I'd like to see the following suggestions for improvements to FrameMaker's
      indexing feature passed along to Adobe: - ability to print out the the
      location of an index marker and its associated index tags - ability to
      export the all of the index tags to a file that can be globally updated
      - ability to perform a global search and replace across all index tags
      for a book

It would be nice if the editing of markers could be made easier. Currently you need to open Edit>Find/Change>Any Marker to find the markers, and Special>Marker to edit the marker text, and then you have to keep bouncing between the Find dialog box and the Edit dialog box as you work your way through the markers. It would be nice if the Edit>Find/Change>Any Marker option included a Find Next Marker button of some sort, so the finding and editing could all be done from one dialog box. In fact, the best solution would be if Frame had a Show Hidden Text capability, similar to the one in Word, so you could edit the markers as part of the overall text, without having to use a dialog box at all. 

Finally, with all the moving up and down you have to do in a file, a Split Screen option, again similar to the function in Word, would be a real blessing. The larger the file, the more difficult it is to find where you were when you are, say, moving blocks of text from one location in a file to another. With a split screen option, the top half of the screen could show the location in the file from which the blocks of text are being cut, and the bottom could show the location in the file into which the blocks of text are being pasted. 

To sum up: 

1. Add a Find Next Marker capability to the Edit>Find/Change>Any Marker dialog box. 

2. Provide a Show Hidden Text capability. 

3. Provide a Split Screen capability. 

Thanks,
