startIndex error

Post by Valiant »

I have a print project. The project is several tables, each cell filled in by a snippet.
I can generate a PDF target from the project. However, when I try to generate a Word target, I get the following error message:
Build failed: startIndex cannot be larger than length of string.
Parameter name: startIndex
Any ideas? I really need the Word output. I'm sending the error to tech support as well.

So I found the answer by deleting parts of the document until would generate the Word file. Some of the contents of the project were imported from Framemaker.
The problem was a web link in the imported section of the file. The link for www.XYZcompany.com had www. XYZcompany.com in the HREF code.
That extra space kept it from generating Word output, though I had no problems generating PDF output. problem solved!
