Good morning to all: I am just beginning to take a course on indexing and must make a serious decision in regards to the software. I have studied the Cindex...

Francine-- The ASI publication, _Software for Indexing_, offers an excellent comparison of the features of all the major programs. See ...
Francine, I'm currently finishing the Berkeley class that requires you to work with Macrex, Cindex and Sky. Each of these has an available demo. Try them out!...
All three major indexing programs have approximately the same features, and if one publisher introduces a new one, the others will follow shortly. The ...
Hi Julie I have tried working with the demos but I am not too good at it yet and it makes it difficult to assess since I am working on this alone. Maybe if it ...

Hi Janet, You are such a great group. I appreciate your evaluation as I am working alone with the demos and have some difficulty at this time. Maybe too new at...

Hello All I attended the PacNW ASI seminar on embedded indexing up in Eugene, Oregon this past weekend and really loved it. It was the first indexing event...
Hi, I enjoyed using Quickeys with OS 9 but cannot figure out how to use it easily with OS X. Is it possible to just do the steps of the Macro to be saved as I...
Help! In the earlier Cindex for Mac version, the F keys worked as the same as they do in Microsoft Word: F1-Undo; F2-Cut, F3-Copy, F4-Paste. However, these...
... I have been trying some shareware macro programs, and none of them seem up to the Cindex tasks I want them to do. Last weekend in Eugene, Frances Lennie...
Thanks, Ed. I used QuicKeys when I was an in-house indexer, so I should be able to remember how to use it. Joy Dean [Non-text portions of this message have...
Hi--the function keys don't work with OSX Cindex (or some other programs). I talked to the Cindex folks about this and they suggested I use the standard Mac...
Hi Thanks but I am not usre what Wuickey with os us but not to worry. Thanks...

... Sorry, but I just can't make out what you're trying to say here. -*"*-.,,.-*"*-.,,.-*"*-.,,.-*"*-.,,.-*"*-.,,.-*"*-.,,.-*"*— Ed Rush Boise, Idaho ...
The situation is this: I compiled an index and sent it to the editor. I thought that the client wanted the index without any commas before the page nos.,...
Word has a function that will allow you to compare two versions of a file; it will highlight all the changes. Since there are only a few changes, the simplest...
... Do you have the original index? If so, then save it into a Word file, then compare the two. You might have to remove all the commas from (copies of) both...
It's "Track Changes" also in Word 2000, but the person making the changes has to have turned it on. The editor in this instance didn't, not realising my...
Thanks for the suggestion, Ed. I've heard from someone offline that indexes formatted in Word can't be imported to CINDEX. Because this is a short index to a...
There's another function that will work. In Word 2003 it's called "Compare and Merge Documents" under Tools. It's in Word 2000, also, but possibly called...
I'll bear this in mind if it happens again (which I fervently hope won't!) I ended up inserting the commas manually; it was a short file, and I figured it...
Hello All, I've been practicing creating Word embedded indexes by creating the index in Cindex, then using the DEXter Word plug-in to import and embed it in...
Hi everyone, I have a new client, who has asked me to: Use a semi-colon after each sub, except after the last one. If the last sub is followed by a see also...
Hi Terri, To set the semicolon between the locators, go to Documents>Reference Syntax and change the "separator" to a semicolon. Then, to get the period before...
Hi Scott, The problem with the period before the See also reference is that it appears RIGHT before the See also, which is the last sub. I need the period to...
I had something similar once. It turned out the publisher wanted to print the index as run-in, but wanted the draft indented so that it would be easier to...
Terry, You certainly have been given unusual parameters! I think you may have to make those changes in Word -- but do call Indexing Reseach and ask them if ...

That's a good idea! Starting from the run-in index in Word, she could find search to replace a semicolon plus space with semicolon plus paragraph return. Then,...
Hey group. I have to turn this in first thing in the morning. I need a pattern to insert V6: (a space after the colon) before the first locator, and only the...
