It looks very strange to me too, and it would be a lot easier as Cindex doesn't seem to have problems with that type of connector. Unfortunately, the client...
There might be some better way in Cindex that I don't know of, but here's what I think of: I would enter the locators using hyphens for ranges and + for volume...
Hi Scott, Thanks for the tips. I did end up emailing Cindex support and got a good workaround from Frances, which I thought I'd share with the group in case...
A friend of mine recently bought the student demo of Cindex for Windows and discovered that the default for the page-range connector was some character other...
The default is an en-dash. Just go to Document ->Page References -> Connecting Text and inset an en-dash in that box. Carolyn Weaver ... From: "Carol"...
... Sounds like it's the same procedure as for the Mac version. Can you tell me what the keyboard shortcut is for an en dash in Windows? Is it Alt + hyphen? ...
The complicated part, I think, is that the Cindex manual splits the page range explanation between page 117 and page 129. I've pieced these texts together and...

Perhaps it is the Kinesis keyboard, which has an embedded numeric keypad. I get: – (ALT+150) - (Alt+196) ... -- Best, Pam Rider ...
Well. That served as a test for me, as both showed up an en-dashes before I sent. All my clients expect an en-dash for locators, and I enter as Alt+196 and...

Entering your combination does nothing. Cindex for PC Windows loads with a default of the hyphen being a en-dash in the final draft. That was my experience...
... OK, this is going to sound like a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway. If you're working on a laptop, which doesn't have a numeric keyboard, can you do...
Great question. I find nothing in the manual on laptops. Again, the manual *does* say that the hyphens become en-dashes as the default locator spread separator...
