    We build a lot of educational/tech manuals where I work and for us, the single-most useful ability that we picked up early on was creating custom styles (paragraph, character, and object). You may already have this down, but so far every designer we’ve hired over the years had no idea how to use or create dynamic styles. Instead, they manually formatted headers, bullets, special characters, etc.

    Just my $0.02, but that’s usually the first thing I have to teach the new guy straight out of college.

    Good luck with your work!

    Well, like I said I’m fairly ignorant to GREP. I just found a few blogs and posts referencing it for complex indexing ideas, so that got me curious. There are several thousand individual entries to mark-up manually, so I was hoping (praying?) that there might be an automation of sorts to take advantage of.

    thanks, Peter, for the reply! Much appreciated.

    P.S. Peter: I just recognized your name. I’m honored you replied! I’m reading (trying to comprehend!) your query manager info. Thanks for the resources!

    I know I’m VERY late to this convo, but thought I’d post in case anyone else does a search for it. Hopefully you’ve already found your solution though.

    We ran into this error too and it was pretty strange. Our books were built in an older version of IND that had been updated to CC2015. If the IND table of contents (ToC) was developed in an older version you need to update the ToC and check the “Make Text Anchor In Source Paragraph” option. One of my guys found that through the Lynda ePub Fixed Width Layout tutorial. Good luck to whoever else stumbles across this :)
