Thanks, Deborah. That did it! Would you be willing/able to share the other common symbols? ... Carol, I'm not sure if this will address your problem, but I...

Thanks, Deborah & Ed. Maybe someday Cindex will be able to update the same file in different windows, but for now your solutions work. Carol...
Carol, When I make a copy of a file to use for reference while editing, I always display it on the right side of the screen and make it read-only. Sometimes I...
Erin (Micki) Your idea is absolutely awesome. I have changed fonts on the second side by side index but I never thought of going in and making it read only....
Thanks again, Deborah. While these are all in the manual, this handy-dandy concise list is SO much easier to understand and use. Maybe I'll master patterns...
Lo these many years of indexing and I've never done this (side by side comparison of the same file). Can you give me an example of when you find it useful?...
Hi there. I'm having a strange problem. Look at these entries. CHENEY, BRAINARD "LON," 166, 265; letter to, 161, 190-191, 313-315, 343-344 CHENEY, BRAINARD...
Yes, I make multiple backup files, which I like to do anyway so I have a "paper trail" of changes I've made. If the index file is named "Smith," I end up with ...
Matthew, It would appear to be a problem with "smart" quotes showing up in one place and not in another. You could do a global search and replace to see if...
I'm having the same problem on my current index, with a number of entries that end with a comment in curly brackets { }. Specifically these are acronyms that I...
Matthew, Are you typing some entries, but using "copy and paste" for others? That may result in different (but invisible) code being entered. Erin (Micki)...
Some of these may have an extra space before the { or after the }. Or a subtle misspelling. When my should-be-the-same entries don't combine, I copy one, and...
With my situation, I have "{ACRO}" on one of my hotkeys, and this is what is giving me the trouble. It shouldn't be any different, because I always put it in ...
... Yes, Cindex's sorting sees "real" (curly) and straight quotation marks as different characters. You typed some some and pasted others. It's a nuisance, but...
What mystifies me is that I did select all and apply one font, so I'm not sure what's going on. If it comes up again (I'm almost done with the index), I might...

Anyone know how to enter a macron over a lowercase "a" in Cindex? --Terri ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Teresa A. Hudoba Editing, Proofreading, Indexing ...
If you can use Times New Roman Font, then in Cindex, go to Character/Symbols. Change the font to Times New Roman Special G1. Scan down the page of tiny letters...
I should have added, you can do the same thing with Arial, but unless you change the font for the whole index it doesn't look quite right. Or if you just...
I created a number of dummy entries with no page numbers. I then tried to globally assign a dummy locator like so: Replace ?* [Pattern checked] in the Page...
... Guess not. And clearly it won't look for null. What I'd do is export it to Excel. Fill the page column with 0, then import it back into Cindex. Deborah...
