Help!

I'm working on a project that is split into 2 volumes due to size. Each volume has its own title sheet with a full index of the complete set showing the list for both volumes. What I want to do is halftone the Volume 2 list on the Volume 1 title sheet and vice versa. I can't figure out how to make that happen. Is it doable, or do I have to creat text and not do a parametric index. Ugh, please tell me I can make this work . . .

Thanks!

You can't change the color of text so you won't be able to half tone one portion of the schedule.
If simply grouping the list with a separate title won't do it you can create a drafting view or legend view that consists of a filled region with a transparent background. Make the view scale 1:1 and create the filled region the same size as the portion of the schedule you want to shade. You can then place it on your title sheet over the schedule.
