There is an online indexing bug in the online bookbuilding tools that
run under VAX DOCUMENT T1.2. (I don't believe this is a problem for
V1.1.)
The problem is with index entries that point to multiple topics. In
this case, the Bookreader displays a menu of section titles that you
can select. With books built under T1.2, blank lines appear between the
section titles; the blanks are 'hot' and clicking on one of them causes
the Bookreader to ACCVIO.
I have a fix for this problem, which will be in the next baselevel
of the online bookbuilding tools, due out in June. If you need to
solve this problem sooner than that (you are, say, building a book
for an upcoming CD release), send me mail and I will provide the fix.
Anyone building books under T1.2 for the July CD should check their
indexes for this problem asap. The books will need to be rebuilt using
the indexing fix.
Thanks to Nina Eppes for finding this problem and enduring 11th hour
re-builds with patience and good humor.

Oh, it was my pleasure! (choke) :-)

P.S. Actually, it was a Spit Brook Graphic Services proofreader who
first discovered the problem. I just followed up on it (and followed
up on it, and followed up on it.........!).

My problem was that just clicking on these index entries caused the
Bookreader to ACCVIO. I didn't even get a pop-up menu. The pop-up menu
showed up only when I built just a couple of chapters (and then the ACCVIO
on the blank line happened). So if you get an ACCVIO when you click on an
index entry, it's the same problem.

Is this the same bug?
When I double click on an index entry (that I know has two page
references), the menu of section titles appears and disappears before I
can read it. I can't get far enough to experience the ACCVIO described
in the base note.
The same behavior occurs if I single click on the index entry and
choose Topic from the View pull-down menu.

No, that sounds like a different bug. Send me the sdml files with the
multiple entries and I'll take a look at it.

This is a Bookreader bug. Joyce is entering a QAR. To work around it, click on the selected entry instead of using the pulldown menu. joe | |||||
