Naomi, I don't know what the Preview app is. I have a PC, and can't find anything like it on the menus. I do love the way Adobe Acrobat displays the search...
... You wouldn't. It's an Apple thing. It opens quickly and displays text, MS-Word, and numerous picture formats. ... I like both ways to search in Acrobat, at...
Are there any Cindex indexers who know how to write a custom tag set to do File > Save As conversion of a Cindex index to a particular sgml style? In...
Ken, It's Tools>Markup Tags, then click on New. Name your tag set in the box provided and click on OK, and you'll get a form to fill out with your customized...
Thanks Pauline! How silly of me to not have thought to actually look in the actual section of Cindex where tags reside. I'lll pull out the manual later and see...
One of the easier ways is to look at the 'prepackaged' tag sets and find the one that's close to what you want. Then modify it to add the additional tags you...
So, I went into the tag set I have been using (after receiving Pauline's helpful direction) and inserted the code I needed for the boldface type. That worked...
Hello Cindexers Can someone please tell me how to make Alexander the Great (Alexander III) ...Gaugamela, battle of, 1:44, 47–48 ...Granicus, Battle of,...
I'm not sure if there's a way to do that in Cindex. You could set it up "battles" so it's part of the main heading and then break it out after you export it to...
That's what I thought, too, Carol, but I just figured out how to do it! You go into Document > Style and Layout > Run-in then designate in the pull-down box >...
It's easy. Under Documents, in the Style and Layout tab, specify on the top line, Run-in from Sub 1 (selected from pull-down menu). Make certain that the...
Wow, that IS interesting. Good to know. ... Cheers, Carol Roberts http://www.RobertsIndexing.com http://www.ArtWanted.com/CarolR Please do not use this address...
Say I'm scrolling through Cindex and see a structure I want to examine. I select it to a New Group, have my way with it, then return to Full View. Cindex...
I too, like to work in draft/unsorted for the same reason. I was surprised by a recent post on this list where several people said they only work in...

Aside from working in draft mode, you can use the "Go to" function in the View menu. You have the option of typing in a record number or a main heading (or...
In addition to working in draft mode (particularly when the final index is run-in format!), I prefer to work in View -> New Records, simply because it lets me...
Carol, In Windows, whether in sorted, unsorted, draft or formatted view, you don't even need the Go To function. Just type the record number. I sometime keep...
The whole point of the "Go to" is that you don't have to write down the record number. I use it in place of having to keep a note pad with a growing list of...
Some who work in draft mode have given a rationale, but I have seen none from those who work in formatted view. To me, draft mode is intuitive--I suspect...
Aaarg! There I go, again: assuming before thinking. I really was assuming that formatted view would only be sorted--which is not true. My main form is to work...
... some. Absolutely. I didn't want to say anything, but I can't imagine for the life of me why anyone would work in any view other than formatted, except on ...
... In draft mode, there has never been the need to write lists down. I can search or create groups for this. Also, the PC version does not allow record...
One of the reasons may be the way the formatted view exhibits coded parts of the entry (think of Arabic diacritics that need to be sorted in a certain order;...
"You say potatoe, and I say potahto..." While I personally prefer draft view (except for occasional excusions to check final formatting), I respect the right...
... I thought we weren't going to try to convert each other? You say you find unformatted intuitive. I find formatted intuitive. I want to always see the end...
Absolutely. But it amazes me that so few "format" people can offer a rationale. This is absolutely *not* my experience. I *genuinely* am interested in the...
... I have not--in any way--tried to convert anyone. I just asked why people prefer formatted view for entry. In draft view, one has both the ability to see...
... I have never found it useful to deal with record numbers, so that is not an issue in formatted view. ... Let's just say I haven't seen any reason to *not*...
This string has been fascinating, especially seeing I've had to index like mad all weekend (something I'm trying to avoid in my advancing age). And I realised...
