You can always change the file extension to .txt (which it should already have it you saved it in Word as a txt file). Don't worry about the list of available...
BTW, one thing to watch for when you do this is the locator field appearing as a sub-heading. I import my dictated indexes (Dragon Naturally Speaking) into...
Well, yes, if you haven't separated the fields with tabs Cindex doesn't know where they begin and end. I added a postscript to this effect--sorry that wasn't...
Thanks to each of you who responded! I made a list of the three suggestions, and the first one I tried worked! I was able to import the file by typing in the...
Good morning all, How's everyone doing? I have a slew of medical work coming in and I wanted to check with everyone to see what medical spell-checker(s) you...
My answer may be "sloppy." I do a fair amount of medical indexing. I invest in a most recent edition of the designated dictionaries of each publisher. Each...
Hello - As far as automatic spill chucking goes, I use Microspell. I do not reckon on having lists of medical terms but this software displays all the suspects...
Is there an easy way to find all entries with x number of locators (or more than x)? Matthew White Coughlin Indexing Services, Inc. 121 Cathedral St Annapolis,...
Hello - If the separator between locators is a comma then select the page field and use a pattern such as ?*,?* Each instance of ?* in the pattern will...
Yes. Under Tools (in Macintosh; probably the same in Windows?), select Check References. There, you can check "Count Page References" and set the number at ...
John's pattern may work but only if you Compress your file first. You don't have to keep it that way -- you can Expand it when you've finished if you like....

The "Count Page References" does not appear to be in the Windows version. According to the Indexing Research Web site, Cindex for Windows was last updated in...
The ?*, pattern isn't working for me; it's only returning records in which I entered multiple locators at once. That is, only the records where the comma...
I'm just not getting this. I start with an RTF that looks like this: advertisements. Coca-Cola, 108 Dairy Management, Inc., 108 digital billboards, 10 Florida...
Hello - As far as I know, the fields must be separated by tab characters before importing, so in this instance I would use a text editor or word processor with...
Just to add to the excellent explanation that John Sampson gave, when you save an RTF or DOC file as text, tab characters are saved. I have abundant evidence...
??I just tried it in MS Word. I got the warning. I converted anyway. When I opened the file again in Word, all the fonts had been changed to Courier, all...
Chiming in late on this, since I've been on vacation w/o email and am just getting thru my CindexUsers digests. Per a recommendation received on one of the...
I do this regularly as I update a by-law index each month. I copy all of the By-law numbers and their corresponding titles from the actual by-law Word files,...
... I'm guessing the file consists of only primary entries? I still don't see any way, even with global changes, to propagate a primary to all of its subs. For...
Yes there is no simple way to transform a multilevel indented index or a run-in index into the "flat", tab-delimited type index. There are a lot of problems...
David: Is it fair to provide an indication of conversion charges? Let's say I have a Word document with 100 entries, including cross-references and italics, as...
I probably should have added that indexes are typically in the $60-75 range but I just did one on Friday that was big and had some editing so it came out at...
Pam, The charges are these: $45/file $10 to save the italics if necesary $.01/entry $25/hour for editing All prices in US dollars. All deliveries via email....
Hello - It could be done using a reasonably simple computer program in a language that handles strings, such as Visual Basic or Perl. The primary would go in...
Dave, Doesn't Indexing Research still sell their Cinvert program? I have the old, old DOS version that Peter gave to me. I used to use it quite a bit and I...
