TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Why does your client want to use a separate piece of indexing software?
There is an indexing SIG in the STC, checkout www.stc.org to see if there is
a web site for the SIG and, if so, what tools they recommend. You might
recommend the services of a professional indexer.

Which is the best indexing software??? I'm
willing to buy it right now (if
it isn't $200 or more). I have never indexed a book
outside of Frame. But I
love indexing! This could be a happy sideline for
me.
Thanks,
