I've got this problem too, and can't figure out what's wrong. I've inserted 11000 index markers in text files, and on import they display correctly in the index panel. But when I want to generate, the dreaded message comes up:

“The index could not be generated. One or more index entries contain invalid characters. Please delete any invalid characters from the index entries.”

I've got no idea what the invalid characters are, so where do I start?

Can anyone help?
