Good Morning, I remember there was a thread about Cindex/XP compatibility a while back, but didn't follow the discussion; but now that there may be a new...
I had an original index, created a second empty one, then dragged and dropped a bunch of records from the first to the second. I did a lot of editing in the...
Further testing shows that with *any* two indexes open, DnD is a one-way operation: it works from one to the other but not vice versa. Bottom line: you can DnD...
In the brief period I had XP on my new machine, I installed Cindex and it worked just fine. But I have ripped XP off and gone back to 98 (I had to debug some...

Dick, Maybe it's just a case of not completing the drag-and-drop procedure? By this I mean, I've highlighted entries in the second index that I want to move...
This is an easy operation for me (doesn't matter which I open first, etc.). I'm running Cindex 1.5.5 under Windows 98, 2nd edition. Melody Englund Songbird...
Hello all! I'm not sure if what I am hoping for is possible. I recently started indexing for a new client and their house style is a bit unusual, at least by...
... house style is a bit unusual, at least by my standards.<< You can say that again! I checked out what Cindex is able to do, and it sure isn't able to do...

Since The Client Is Always Right, my inclination would be to tell the client that since their house style is unique and requires substantially more work, the...
... Yes, I think this is becoming increasingly important. I too have recently struggled with some unusual guidelines that did add significant time to the ...
When auto-generating xrefs, you have to create a separate file for the automatic entries. It's not clear to me what the format of those records is. Can someone...
I think I am missing the obvious here, but time is a bit short and I'm stuck: I'm looking at the 'adjusting references' section of the Cindex manual, pages 84...

Hi Zeb, I agree -- the directions for subtracting page numbers isn't clearly indicted in the manual. When you open the alter references window, the cursor goes...

What are you trying to do? It sounds awfully complicated. I don't make a special file for xrefs. Say I have a spokeperson for an organization and his...

Deborah Patton sorted things out - Deborah, thanks a lot. Since I posted my message in despair, I tried a few other things - at first the hyphen-for-minus...

... I'm trying to use the Auto-generate feature in 1.5.5. Supposedly you can build a file of commonly used xrefs, then within a given index simply tell Cindex...
Dick, I find auto-gen x-ref works this way: If you have already entered pervileges (sic) in your index file you must type See and begin to type pervileges...
To the collective wisdom: I've already contact support at Cindex and they are working on this, but I would like to see if there are any others out besides me...
... I use Windows ME, and I had something like that happening too, but since the final records were okay, I didn't really document it. It would be nice if the...
Like Karen, I've seen this happen in Win2K as well but not with every record. Since it does go away, I never tried to reconstruct exactly what I was doing...
... I think you are talking about the auto-compelte feature. I'm talking about the auto-generate feature under the Tools menu. Dave Ream has straightened me...
Diana, I experienced the same problems with the page locator field (where the number seemed to be pushed below the real entry line). This occurred when I was...
Well, I find it annoying as I work with a lot stuff that contains chemical formulas, diacriticals, etc. I'd like to see it fixed. Besides that's not my only...
Not to be difficult, or defend Microsoft, but the only way I can make this happen is to turn on italics (ctrl-i) BEFORE I enter anything in the new record. If...
In a message dated 1/11/02 4:39:52 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... I had the same problem and I work on a PC with Win98. This was at least six-nine months ago...
Dear Charles I'm happy to report that the two problems that Diana described have been fixed and we are just doing some final testing before shortly releasing...
