Add a title or other static text to lists and indexes

If you want to add a title or other unchanging text in your list or index, add it after you generate the list or index the first time.

You can also add static text to a template and then use the template to format a list or index.

  1. Type the title before the first entry on a body page.

  2. Use the Paragraph Catalog to give the text a special paragraph style for static text; or create a new paragraph style for the title.

  3. If you create a new paragraph style, make sure it does not end with the suffix assigned when you created the generated file, such as IX for a standard index or TOC for a table of contents. When you generate the index again, FrameMaker replaces only the paragraphs that have styles ending with the suffix.
