... I cut and pasted your entries and they sort properly no matter what my sort settings. Have you tried deleting them and retyping them? Dick...
I'd suggest copying the text from the ones that _are_ sorting properly and pasting it into your 1950 entry. My guess is that there may be hidden text (like a...
Carol, They are sorting correctly for me no matter what sort I use (except simple)...try opening up a new fole with the correct style for the project and see...
... I already tried that, but it didn't fix it. I always try that first, and it usually works. Cheers, Carol [Non-text portions of this message have been...

... My first thought is that you need to designate the volume number in each page reference you enter. So in your example above, you would need to enter the...
Yes, I'm already putting the volume designator with each page reference. The suppression is working fine--it's june the semicolon that won't work. Linda...

Short of entering a semicolon in front of the vol. 2 numbers and then saving to Word and doing a find and replace on all , ; entries (changing just to ...
Thanks, Charles, that's a good idea. But I think what I will do is compress the index using the consolidate references option and then search for page fields...

You have to have each locator in a separate record (use Tools/Expand). Then put semicolon in the Page Separator field of Documents/Reference Syntax. In the...
Thanks Dave! That will save lots of time. Linda...

Hi Linda: The thing to do is to go to Documents/Reference Syntax, and enter a semicolon in the Separator field. This way you can force Cindex to use a...
Thanks to every one who gave me help with the semicolon and volume designator problem. Linda...

If you plan to upgrade to the publishers' edition, take note. I got tired of waiting for an upgrade to 1.5 and bought the publishers' edition becuse it had...
Dear Cindex users I've been asked to produce an index which needs page numbers which are basically Hart-style, eg 3-5,246-7, 311- 15, and so on, but with this...

Zeb, Have you tried applying the other conflating schemes in Cindex to see what they do? I just tried all of them, and it looks to me like Chicago comes ...

Very many thanks to Linda Fetters and Deborah Patton. The big snag was that what the publishers want is a mixture of both Chicago and Hart. I found a solution...

... Yes, a tilde makes it work, but should not be necessary. In over 12 years of indexing I've never seen this before, but I just upgraded to the publisher's ...
Dick I tried putting your entries in my Cindex for Mac, and they sorted fine (whether or not the box is checked to ignore them in sort), and did not combine in...
I actually have both these terms: , (comma) ; (semicolon) comma (,) semicolon (;) in my latest index and they sort completely separately -- and in the correct ...
