I believe the full Mac version does not have hot keys (unless I somehow missed them completely). They are a feature on the Windows version of Cindex. Scott...

The culprit seems to be the QuickKeys macro program. When I turned that off, it worked fine. Dick...
I'm indexing a journal and the May issue has the wrong pagination. Gotta alter -- and that always scares me. I have a names index and isolated the May issue...

Deborah-- I'm guessing from the format that this is a Mosby index. Right? My advice is to save a back-up copy of your original file. Then do an Expand and...
I index for Mosby, too. I put the year and volume numbers in as the last step, using a pattern. If you are nervous about altering the page numbers, one option...

I have just suffered a brief power cut and my computer was shut down. When I switched Cindex on again I was asked if I wanted to repair the index as it had not...
I always say yes when confronted with a sudden interruption in Cindex and it then tells me the index needs repairing. You can do a couple of things to ...

I second Deborah--buy a UPS. It's worth every penny. Just make sure you get one large enough to support your system, which means adding up the wattage you're...
Hi Eleanor, I would like to add to Deborah's comments that it's a good idea to back up your work frequently on a floppy (or read/write CD-ROM if your computer...
I have a project coming from a new client, and they have sent me a copy of their index guidelines. This includes a few requests that are new to me and that I...
Linda, I had one client who for years specified receiving index files in Word 2.0 -- this while Word 2002 was available. While I am sure they could have ...
Sounds like their layout instructions are carryovers from typewriter days, and nobody has looked at them in recent years to bring them into the Windows era....
Hi Linda, I'll try to answer your questions. I'm sure you'll have additional input. <<snip>> 1. Submit index files in Word 6 IBM format.>> I would send the...
I can answer part of this. The client is technically challenged and doesn't get it that a Rich Text File can open in Word 6 and work just fine. How to get...

Carol, I've had something similar happen, when Cindex was open and the computer froze on an operation. (I've learned to save a backup before changing anything...
In addition to the automatic backups every 10 minutes, I save my index-in-progress to a Zip disk whenever I leave the computer for any reason. Plus I have a...
