If I have a word by word or letter by letter sort I end up with this entry: Cornflower analysis of, 63, 71-5, 233-4 appearance of, 58 compresses, 152-3 for eye...

Lynda asked about why subentries beginning with 'for' are sorted as if the 'for' isn't there. It does that because normally you don't want to sort on those...
I understand why it is best to ignore 'for' but when there are only a couple of subheads, to me it looks untidy!! On reflection, I have decided to leave it as...
I've got a client who wants to use a tab as the separator between subheads and locators, rather than the usual comma, but with full Word formatting for the...
When you "Save As" and choose an RTF file, the screen will change ever so slightly and present you with an Options button. It's there that you choose Subhead...

We're thinking alike, Deborah! That's the answer I almost just sent in, but then I realized Carolyn wants a tab not for the subhead indent but between the ...
That works for subheads (which I've already done), but you still end up with the comma as the separator before the locator. I did make it work by using \<tb\>...
Silly me. Sorry for the goose chase. No, I don't think there's a better way Carolyn. Since the tab is used to jump from one data point to another in a window...

Carolyn, Actually Word uses ^t for a tab. If you go into Find and Replace, More, Special, you will see Tab as an option. When you click on it to insert it in...
Unfortunately, that exactly what it replaces with: ^t. I need it to show up as a true tab between the subhead and the locator. Carolyn ... From: "Charles...
But I did this on a file with 1200 records recently and it worked perfectly. It shows in the Replace dialog as ^t but in the formatted Word file it is a true...

I'm puzzled by the way Cindex is sorting a couple of entries in the index I'm working on. I don't need advice about how to force sort--I know how--I'm just...

Carol, I copied the two entries into a file and played with it for a couple of minutes. The authorship entry comes second when the sort is set to ...

Carol, I'm using Cindex for Windows. Could there be a difference in the way the sort works between Windows and Macs? Maybe someone else who uses Cindex for Mac...
I tried it on my Cindex for Mac, and the authorship entry came out first in both letter and word sort. So it seems to be stopping at the comma. Scott...

Pauline, the differences isn't commas; it's spaces. Word-by-word sort counts spaces and letter-by-letter ignores them. So when word-by-word counts spaces, I...
