Hi Greg:

You can do a wide range of things such as this using Find and Replace. You
can do fancy stuff using a Concordance file. Using VBA you can do anything
you like.

However, I am not at all clear as to what you want to do. I know: it's very
tempting to give information only for the immediate question. However, this
task is going to need an approach and a method. To help you, we need more
detail :-)

For example: I don't think the result you want is a conventional "Index".
If it were, you wouldn't be using a concordance file. So please describe
what you want, and how you want it to be used, in a bit more detail :-)

Cheers

Hi,

Yes, this was helpful but it appears to be a manual process. Is there
anyway to automate the bookmark process? In my case, each index item is
associated with a unique number. I would have to manually mark 500+
entries. It seems there must be some way to use Mail Merge or a VBA
macro. Any further thoughts?

When you insert a bookmark on a given page, then you can insert a
cross-reference to the page number of that bookmark (a PAGEREF field). I
don't know if this helps.

Hi Suzanne,

I appreciate your reply. I've taken the weekend to give some thought to
your idea of formatting the index manually. I believe I am able to
generate a catalog formatted mail merge file into an index provided
there is a way to capture the page numbers for each indexed item in
some way. Do you have any recommendations on how this may be
accomplished?

BTW, do you know if there is a way to tie a bookmark to a page number?
If so, I may be able to map that to each indexed item. Have you any
thoughts regarding these ideas?

Assuming the indexes are using the same Index 1, Index 2, etc., styles,
I
don't think there's any way unless you unlink the index and format it
manually.

Hi,

I wish to change the formatting styles for the page numbers displayed
in my concordance listing. Currently they are the same size generated
by the index in the main document. Can someone tell me where to find
this information in the archives or if it is even possible?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

-Greg
