Can an indexer using the new version of Cindex collaborate with an indexer using the (an?) old version, without significant problems? Can a Mac user...

Yes. Indexing Research has committed to maintaining the .arc format across all versions and platforms for interchange compatibility. It's also the safest way...
... Haven't tried that yet, but my understanding was that Cindex would always be backwards compatible. ... Yep, they each just need to save files in .arc...
I do a lot of collaboration with two Cindex users with whom I share files (generally they're sending me their work) and who use Cdx 1.5 to my 2.0. Some of the...
I have a sample index that shows the client's ideal index. Please don't laugh. It's a dotted line between the headings/subjeadings and the locator. Is there a ...
Yes, there is, and I use it when I make scripture indexes, mainly because it's visually difficult to separate the chapter:verse numerals from the locator...

Hi Is there a pattern I can use to change the initial cap on a cross reference to lower case? For example, at the moment all my entries are like this: islet...

Lynda, Go to Documents, then Cross references. Click on the Body style button and remove the check from Initial caps. Click on okay and you're set to go. Ina ...
Hi. No, the initial caps button is not selected. I 'manually' typed everything in initial caps as the client wanted initial caps for all entries (so the cross...

It is a good idea to follow Deborah's advice with your index in draft view. That way Cindex will highlight only the part of the entry that will change, which...
Hi Many thanks for this - it worked fine. I did have to go and manually update a few entries where acronyms had been used (I didn't realise it changed ...

Mine is an HP P2015dn. I have to buy cartridges three or four times a year. I haven't kept track of how many pages it prints per cartridge, but its thousands....
I'm running Cindex 2.0 on Windows Vista. Suddenly, I can't scroll through the file. None of the following work: Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, or the Up and...
