Is there a simple two-step or one-step way to "split and flip"? I have a large number of records like this: Smith, John (No. 123) Jones, Mary (No. 345) Doe,...

My client wants the page number to appear before the subheading. Is this possible in Cindex? Example: Thorogood, Daphney 98 Department of Surgery TIA, Ilana...
This would probably be possible by putting the page number in the sub field; but highly preferable, I'd think, would be to talk the client out of it. Scott ......
You could always put the subheading in the page field following the page number. Just be careful that you put a ~ before any commas in the subheading. If you...
Hello People Client wants subentries no longer than 35 characters, inc. locators. Is there a way, in Cindex, to lower the characters per line? I have gone...
This is going to raise hell with the things Cindex automatically does with page numbers: combining, conflating. sorting, etc. I can't imagine a good reason to...
Hello - For such oddities as recently mentioned, a good text editor or scripting language such as Perl could probably be used for post- processing the index....
It sounds like what they are after is no runover lines, since 35-40 characters is often what will fit in one line in a column. I would verify that they really...
Scott's answer is excellent. BUT. Runover lines are *also* determined by type size, which is not a decision of the indexer. Given no other information, I would...
The record structure Minimum Character default is governed by the longest entry you have. If you have an entry of 50 characters, they won't let you set the...
I seem to be having a prolem with the sort of Roman numerals. I HAVE checked the box in tools>sort which says 'evaluate numbers' but I still have one numeral...
To get your Roman numerals to sort correctly you want to go to do tools>sort, then use the Locators tab and double-click on Roman Numerals so it has a little +...
These are all my exact settings and works perfectly in the locator field. *But,* I have also recently had a sort in which IX was sorted out of order in the...
Lynda, I misread your e-mail in my previous answer - sorry about that! I doubt that Cindex can interpret your Roman numerals as numbers when they are not in...
Yup, the deal with Roman numerals - making sure "evaluate numbers" box is checked on the Tools>Sort menu (main window), and the plus sign next to Roman...

Hi Thanks for all the replies. I have done as Connie suggested (below) and this seems to have worked fine. Best wishes Lynda From: cindexusers@yahoogroups.com...
That being said, "evaluate numbers" and the sort order that places roman numerals in front of arabic numbers are not the same thing. The latter pertains only...

I suspect that text tab delimited is your best bet. It works well for exporting FROM Cindex TO Excel, so should work just as well the other direction. Carolyn...

Don't rename it to .dat use .tab instead. CINDEX can import a .tab file file and that is better when going from a Windows program like Excel into CINDEX. The...
