OK, I'll jump on this one. Everyone is going to ask why do you want to? Please don't be offended, but are you confusing record length with the number of...

Thanks for your message, Linda. This is a strange project. I've never worked on anything like this before. This is a 1,880 page German Studies directory. The...
... What do you mean you've run out of room? You have too many entries for Cindex to handle? How many entries do you have? What sort of names are you entering?...
If your goal is names as sub-subheadings under the subheadings chosen by the author, you just put each in a separate record. You can copy the heading and...
Sorry for the truncated message; I hit the wrong key... What I was trying to say was that if you put each one in a separate entry, from Presidents United...
I use a Mac and I can expand the memory to accommodate many more entries than the program default allows; I used to get length error messages at about 7000...
... Pardon my curiosity, but how were you trying to do it? I'm having trouble imagining any way other than what Pauline described, and certainly no way that...

I just had an index kicked back because the client wants the commas following italicized entries to be italicized also. For instance: [an italicized book...
Hi Dick, I've never heard of that kind of request. How many people are going to notice whether the comma is in italics or not? The only thing I can think of is...

Hi Richard CINDEX has a useful "Adjust Punctuation around Styled Text" option in the Style & Layout menu. If this box is checked, CINDEX will automatically...
... That is apparently not working. But then, I'm using the Publisher's Edition, which is sometimes a bit different. Have you tried this (on Windows) and does...
... Dick, I just discovered a totally weird result that might help you (even though my version of Cindex is for Mac, this might be worth a try). I have "Adjust...

As a follow-up, I've noticed that certain settings (e.g., carry locators forward) occasionally don't "take," and I have to toggle them once or twice....

Yes, this Adjust Punctuation option works perfectly in my Windows version of the product. I use it all the time, since I believe best indexing practice...
... You might have something there. The box was checked when I sent the RTF to the client, and the commas were not italicized. Now, after futzing with it all...

I got a new indexing project today and I'm stumped about how to handle the locators. The format of this book's previous index makes a lot of sense -- why they...
