I am trying to place See also references as last subheading. However, for entries that have page references, but no subheadings, I still need to precede See...
I'm a tad confused. You say you want "See also" as the last subheading, but your wish of how you want it to look is as the "See also" running from the main...
I'm trying to create a template to use for a client who always gives me tight space for the index. So I created a dummy index and set the margins so a line...
... I don't know about your other problem, but you do realize that Times New Roman is a variable font and the size of the line can vary depending on which 42...
... Sure, but not by much, right? Not enough to account for that weird result, I should think. I used that font because that's what my client uses, so I figure...
... This is a good answer. But, if your client uses Times Roman, it should be your choice. Are the pages large format? Forty-two characters in 12 pt. type is a...
... The client's specs aren't the issue, are they? No, 42 characters isn't an especially long line in 12-pt. TNR (try it and you'll see it looks about right...
Thanks to those who responded (by email and phone) to my request. I actually spoke to Fran Lennie, who very kindly helped me resolve this problem. In order to...
... Absolutely. It's the only issue. A modern index is going to be published in proportional type, with line length varying considerably depending on typeface....
I agree with what other people have said about the intricacies of estimating the length of an index, but to answer Carol's original question, Index Statistics...
I, too, was am a long-time production editor. For indexes: What I do (in Adobe's Framemaker 8.0) is make a page the size of the client's, make 2 columns,...
I share Janet's perspective. Going back into the dim recesses of my memory, I long ago came to the conclusion that Cindex measurements were for printouts on...
With an index of several pages open but only one entry highlighted, I can go to Tools->Index Statistics, and, under *Range to Examine*, check *Selection*, then...
... Pam, I don't think you got what I meant. Clients specs are important but not to the question I'm asking about. I'm asking why Cindex is giving me bizarre...
... I don't understand. If it doesn't measure a highlighted section, then what does the "Selected Records" option mean? ... I tried it both ways and got the...
Well, I still don't know why Cindex is behaving so strangely, but I did find settings in Cindex that let me produce an rtf file with 1- inch margins, 2 columns...
... I don't understand. If it doesn't measure a highlighted section, then what does the "Selected Records" option mean? Well, what do you know. A feature of...
... Then, it is mutual. My point is that setting margins in Cindex is irrelevant to having an index fit publication specifications. Cli Best, Pam Rider ...
... Sigh. It's completely relevant PROVIDED the client gives you those very specs to match to. Look, if my client says, "We want 20 pages of index, 2 columns,...
... Why not just do it in the RTF? It takes maybe a minute. I have one client I do this for all the time. I get a size limit, periodically save the Cindex file...
... I just posted this elsewhere in the thread. Why not simply do the sizing in the RTF and leave Cindex out of it? Save the index as an RTF, apply the client...
... Good point. But, your experience varies from mine. I have only been asked to adapt index lines for finished typeset indexes. That has been for both...
... Because if I can set specs in Cindex, I can create a Cindex template for this particular client. Then I can flow the index into RTF on future projects...
... I think you're asking the same question you just posted, right? It only takes a minute, but then I don't have a file I can use over and over for the same...
Hey All This happen to anyone else? Been working along just fine, saving anew about every 10-15 pages, then all of a sudden, I click Save As, give the updated...
I have an index that needs headings with initial caps, but I have a heading for pH, that needs to be lowercase p. I of course entered all headings in...
Matthew, Just put a tilde (~) in front of the letter p. Micki Taylor ... From: Matthew White To: cindexusers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007...
