Tony - "ff" usually translates to "& following pages" (unless you're a
musician). In this example, either the "ff" or the "-10" appears to be
redundant.

There has been some talk of building an index for the builder's manual, and
of correlating it to the parts list. Grahams Singleton & Clarke have
mentioned it several times since 1-8-95. The last posting on the topic
appears to have been 11-3-96 when Graham Singleton reported that Roger Bull
was re-writing the manual in a more logical order, and he hoped it would
get indexed at the same time.

Indexing a document is not as simple as it seems; people can actually make
a living by specialising in it. However, anyone using Micro$oft's behemoth
Word application can use it to ease a lot of the drudgery of indexing.
Other software can be used instead to help in various ways.
