Index page references in RH to Word
when convert rh printed documentation (word), rh index points wrong pages in situation:
the table of contents organized books,
and
"start each topic on new page" not selected. in other words, within book, topics run on.
both index , toc show incorrect page numbers when first @ output. toc corrected refresh page numbers function, index set. offset between correct reference , wrong 1 same toc errors.
when set "start new chapters on odd pages" on advanced dialog (button @ bottom of first setup screen), happens way. when option not selected, , topics run on within books, offset more pronounced..
a given index: reference is supposed point first page of topic in keyword appears.
(i know, seems point correct page, that's because rh loses track of topic's first page in books runon topics.)
probably should point out using rh default stylemapping.dot style sheet. else can run against *.dot, , i'd surprised if made difference.
suppose have toc book starts on page 6.
topica short, topicb starts on page 6 , ends on 7
even though running on, happens topicc starts on page 8 , ends in middle of 9.
topicd starts on page 9, right after topicc, , ends in middle of page 11.
topice starts on 11 , ends on 12.
index references turn out follows:
(start page), index reference
(6) topica - 6
(6) topicb - 6
(8) topicc - 9 (!)
(9) topicd - 11 (!)
(11) topice - 12 (!)
don't fooled thinking references correct because keyword appears on listed page. when keyword appears on page 8 in topicc, index points 9. similarly, keyword in topic d on page 9, index points 11.
until adobe assigns dig this, need each topic start on new page consistent index references.
