Tony, thanks for your responce. 1. We have at least 10 manuals plus they're in 2 versions. It's very difficult to store all these as seperated files especially for every Chapter. That's why we use three files in one book for each manual: content, manual part, index. 2. Manual part consists of one frame. We add the text and screenshots in all sections very often. Adding pages not at the end of the document (as we do) can totally confuse us. 3. I'm not a programmer, but I see the sollution in such way: Every section marker has to be linked to its Chapter. Chapter always begins with the same word "Chapter#" and in the same unique style. So, it's good to create function "Generate or Update Section Marker". This function will be determine where the every "Chapter#" element (in the determined style and unique in whole document) is and will automatically create the new section marker on every of these pages. All section markers have to be deleted automaticcaly on the other pages, where word "Chapter#" is absent. It must be the opportunity to write the section marker's name for the every chapter mannually. It looks like the index generating function in InDesign as for me. If it's possible to make my fantasy real, it'll be great :).
