Hi, Anyone know of the best way to force sort these locators: 87–88n139, 87n138,? Meisenhelder, Sarah Beach (daughter) (1850-1937), 77, 87–88n139, 87n138,...
Personally, I wouldn't try to use page ranges with note numbers. If n139 begins on p. 87 and ends on p. 88, I'd index it as 87n139 and let the reader figure...
I am slightly puzzled by the following. According to Cindex, the index I am currently working on has 387 lines. When I save it as an .rtf, I get the usual...

... Hi Lynda I often wonder the same thing (discrepancy between what the popup box says and the rtf file) but go with the rtf, that is the most accurate one...
Hi, Kenny and Lynda: I have gone around and around with this one too. Indexing Research has told me to use the index statistics count. They told me that...
I don't rely on the count in either Cindex or the rtf file. In the rtf file, there are 47 lines per page. I simply multiply this number by the number of full...

Marlene: You make a good point. All we really need is the number of lines, making sure that each line does not exceed the total allowable characters. I just...
I'm not sure why there's a disparity, but I've had it as well. I've asked clients to let me know what their counts show, and it usually corresponds to what the...
Many thanks for all the replies. I suppose I should just count them but I am quite pushed for time on this one!! I have to say that in the past I have always...
I've wondered about this too, but haven't really investigated it seriously. Remember that one thing it can measure is records in its database. Another is...
... Funny, this line count thing. I get 46 lines in Word when I convert an index to an rtf file. How about this-how do you all have your margins set in Word?...
Kenny, My margins are also 1" all around. Marlene London Professional Indexing Services marlenelondon@......

I have just noticed a discrepancy with this. In Cindex I have my subhead indent set at 2 characters, yet when I open the .rtf in MS Word the indent is 3...
I have just noticed something else about the transfer (sorry if I am starting to become boring! LOL!). When a heading is continued onto a new page in Cindex,...
I've always suspected that the difference might be that Cindex doesn't count the blank lines between each new letter of the alphabet - but Word does. I'm not...
... That's something you can set in Cindex -- having "continued" atop each applicable column, or page, or not at all. When you export in RTF, of course, Cindex...
When dragging from Cindex to Word, the appropriate {xe} tag appears as expected, and the index in Word, when generated, appears normal, BUT...inside the {xe}...
