Hey all, I made what might have been a bad decision, or maybe not. I'm working on a film book with hundreds of titles. Many of them, of course, start with The....
... Do you really need to move it, or just not sort on it? NOTE: Do not include quote marks in the actual commands. If the former, it's probably easier to do...
Hi Rae! I would just search and replace The with {The } and "The with {"The }, etc. for A, An, How likely is it you have a capitalized the anywhere else in...
... I've been using QuicKeys for some time now. I don't record much with it, because I find it has too much of a hair trigger, if you know what I mean. It...
Richard, Melody, Carol Thanks for the replies. Dick, the angle brackets actually do what I wanted. I think when I made the original decision to do it the way I...
MAYBE I have seen a similar problem. I am using comment fields in my current index and found that if I had a chapter range with a comment, the page range...
... I don't really know if you're missing something obvious, since I don't know exactly what you tried. I would definitely try it again, but under more relaxed...
... Hence Rae's comment about it not being obvious. I've been using QK for years and have a love/hate relationship with it. It does things that are totally ...
... I wasn't disagreeing with Rae, just making the point that it isn't hopeless and might still be worth putting in some time with it. I agree with you that...
I do hope someone is still up and working, that would be willing to help me out! I have had to repaginate the entire index that I just did a rush job on, and...
Ha! I'm just now closing my Cindex and heading for bed. YOu can subtract page numbers by putting a minus sign (hyphen) in front of the amount you want to...
-Bobbi You use exactly the same method you used to add pages except you put a "-" sign (minus sign) in front of the number of pages you are going to subtract. ...
I tried that and Cindex told me it would remove all locators with a 1 or 2, and do I want to do that - YIKES! Is there something I am missing? I even tried to...
Bobbe Do what Paula suggested and SAVE an extra couple of copies of that chapter but to answer your question, yes it will work with the message you are...
Bobbi, First, find all the entries within the page range you want to modify, then make the change (-2) to those selected in the temporary group. Elliot Linzer ...
Thank you so very much, Paula, Kenny, and Elliot! Kenny, I followed your advice and when a box popped up that told me that all of the 1's and 2's were going to...
Hi Bobbi, the warning message is necessary because if you do this adjustment by "-2" when you have entries with a page number of 2 or less, subtracting 2 gives...
I'm using 2 with the most recent update on XP. I'm finding that sometimes when I depress the Shift key and a letter for the first letter of the main entry, I...
Ina, yeah, every once in a while I have the same thing happen, enough times to notice. I just thought I was missing a direct hit on the key on the keyboard. ...
I want the comma to fall inside the quotes. I went to: Document > Style and Layout > Un-Ticked Around Quotation Marks. But this doesn't change this: "Futurist...
Naomi, Try it the other way - tick the adjust punctuation around quotation marks. It works for me in Cindex 2.0 on Windows XP Hope this helps! Connie...

I stumble around with patterns, so *I* don't know what's wrong with it. I suspect it's the backslash? FWIW, here's the Help advice on backslash in patterns. ...
