I had something similar once. It turned out the publisher wanted to print the index as run-in, but wanted the draft indented so that it would be easier to...

That's a good idea! Starting from the run-in index in Word, she could find search to replace a semicolon plus space with semicolon plus paragraph return. Then,...
Hey group. I have to turn this in first thing in the morning. I need a pattern to insert V6: (a space after the colon) before the first locator, and only the...
I think what you need to do (I made this note in my old Cindex manual, and the issue seems to be the same) is add "^" to the beginning of the find part of the...
Rae In my 3 years of indexing with Cindex, the most complicated maneuver I've had to come up with, at an author's request, is arranging subentries in page...
Rae, It is on page 234 of my Cindex for Windows manual, titled "Adding Volume Numbers to Page References." I only know because I had to look it up last week. ...
Off the top of my head you would have to add another step either using patterns for FIND and REPLACE. Best, Naomi Word Embed ... *******Please note updated...
Naomi Thank you, yes that is what I figured. I spoke with Frances Lennie (developer of Cindex) and a global search/replace operation would be the way to deal...
I have been using the Berkeley student version and I am interested in purchasing the full cindex program. How do I do this and what is the cost. Thanks! ...

Erin, are you sure they're en dashes? In some fonts, en dashes look smaller than hyphens, believe it or not. Cheers, Carol ... Indexing services:...
In journal indexing, I often create an author record in one file, then copy it into the subject index. N-dashes in page ranges invariably paste as hyphens....
Yes, I'm sure they are en dashes, as I use alt + 0150. The main problem is that I can end up with two identical entries, except for that one character, so...
... copy ... One journal I index has tons of characters that need special attention, like the en dashes or characters that the publisher wants me to indicate...
This might be one way around that problem: use some other symbol besides en-dashes, like maybe a question mark or asterisk, and then once you get the files...
I am indexing a four-volume encyclopedia (A to Z) but I won't know the volume breakdown until a later date. If I make entries now with just the page...
You should be able to do it later. To facilitate that, I would type the page ranges in full, because later on, you're going to need to search for the page...
Ok. I'm in pattern hell right now. I need to make only the first letter of each record capitalized. What I have right now, (after trying the pattern given in...
Matthew, Go to Replace. If you have subheads you don't want to change, select Field as Main (if you don't have subheads, don't bother with this). Put a check...
Matthew, You don't have to use a pattern. You can go to the Document menu, click Headers. In the Heading Format dialog box, click Style. In the Text Style box,...
