I apologize in advance for posting to so many lists at one time, but I feel this is important information on using Cindex in Windows Vista. I have been so...
Okay, I have an index which has a max of 480 35-char lines allowed. I'm not sure how to even figure out the 35-char lines. So that's one question for you...
Remove sections J-O. Just kidding. Some of the things you can do are (1) allow a bit longer locator strings (thereby getting rid of even more subs), (2) if you...
Wouldnąt that be nice. The editor said specifically NOT to conflate unless it was continuous discussion. Iąm up to something like 8 or 9 locators and now...
I am hardly a technical expert, but have had once (in 30 years) had to cut down an index. I fiddled with the page margins in Cindex to create a 35-character...
Melinda Appleby and I have been sharing the duties of CindexUsers moderator for several years, with me as the primary moderator and Melinda serving as ...
I have just discovered something kind of neat with my Cindex program on my new Vista computer system - when I type in a Greek symbol I don't have to make any...
Hello all, I remember at the beginning of the year this came up and I am wondering if anyone found a solution. I'm working on a big, gnarly medical book as far...
Well, I posted my last post about the dictionary, I took some time to write to Frances to ask her her thoughts on the matter, and I just opened Cindex and...
Ken, I can't remember whether you're on a PC or a Mac, but this was a known bug in Cindex for Mac. It has since been fixed, and the patch can be downloaded off...
... Carol, I'm on a PC. I wrote to Frances and maybe she will provide the same bug fix. Thankfully I have a laptop I can use as Cindex on my desktop won't even...
Ugh! While you're waiting for the bug fix, did you try rebooting, just to see if that would get your spell checker to behave? I've found that rebooting solves...
... Thank you for your wishes of good luck. Yah, rebooted three times, still won't work. Maybe Cindex on my desktop just needs an overnighter after a long,...
Hello - I don't use the (PC) Cindex spellchecker having had various problems with it over the years. I too index medical books. I think Indexing Research have...
Kenny, If you've been using that same dictionary for some time, it might be full. The Cindex dictionaries can only add about 2700 new entries; after that, it...
... I would follow the spelling in text. If need be a cross-reference from "esophagus" to "oesophagus" would be added. Checking for client preferences would be...
Ken-- I suspect that your personal dictionary is full. (The only symptom of this is the error message that you got.) Try creating a new personal dictionary, ...
Try Spellex-Plus (www.spellex.com) , which is a Word add-in. It handles multiple languages and has many specialized dictionaries (medical, legal, etc.), and I...
You don't even have to rename it. Just browse the directory it's in and ask to see all files. So if it's excel.txt you can import it without changing the name....
Another great medical Spellchecker, syncs with Word, is Stedmans. I love it. http://www.stedmans.com/product.cfm/205/216 kh ... handles ... legal, ... but...
... of this ... dictionary, ... Hi Carolyn, yes that might be a good solution-creating a new dictionary. The real problem is that Cindex will not even allow me...
To create a new dictionary, click on spellcheck, and then the Options button. The Options screen has a box for creating a new dictionary file. Give the new...
I am having a problem with Cindex that I have never had before, so I thought I would throw it out to the group and see if anyone knows what is happening. I...
Someone mailed me the fix offgroup -a big thank you!! I took the dictionaries that were in CINDEX out by going into Windows Explorer, creating a new folder,...
Hello - My point here was that in a book for a British market, 'oesophagus' is correct while 'esophagus' is an error. In a book for a US market, 'oesophagus'...
Funny. I typically ask about the market for books I index. I do work with medical books that are marketed to the USA and Commonwealth nations, so such...
... I would definitely favo(u)r cross-references in this case, with the spelling difference right at the first letter. Were I reading the book, it wouldn't...
Frances Lennie at Indexing Research asked me to post a message to Cindexusers. She is having technological difficulties and cannot access her e-mail. If anyone...
