Where you put the XE field should be as close as possible to the topic
you're referencing. For example, if you refer to George Washington on page
3, you could put { XE: "Washington: George" } anywhere on page 3, but if the
XE field was in text that moved to page 4, then the page reference for your
mention of George Washington would be incorrect. You therefore want to put
the XE field right next to George Washington's name.
I still get a strong feeling that you don't understand how indexes work or
what they're supposed to do. I suggest that, while it is admirable to try to
learn Word's features before you actually need them, your practice will be
much more practical if you are working on a document in which you really
need an index.

Hey Taz,
I just noticed that that Lorrie person was talking about TOC's, and not
Indexes.
My bad,
Bennie
P.S. I'm still looking for an actual written instruction that shows
exactly
where in a document that you're supposed to put an XE subentry field code.
I
know now thru experimenting on my own, but there has to be an actual
document
describing the process somewhere. I'm noticing that a lot of this computer
information written about in various articles is simply assumed by the
author, or passed along by word of mouth--and thus certain steps get
glossed
over by all of them in their writings--because none of them really know of
the step's origins, and they don't want to be seen as not knowing. Who
does!

I'm not sure where this conversation originated, but just for
clarification:
"Main Entry" & "Subentry" are aspects of an *Index*, and have nothing to
do
with a Table of Contents. A TOC can have multiple *levels* (based on
Heading
Styles for example), but that is a totally different matter with
different
terminology.

Hey Lorrie,
This is Bennie over at "Subentry-Word 2003." I noticed that you asked
the
same question that I did about "Subentries." Getting a straight answer
to
such a simple question is like pulling teeth!
If you check over here, you might find the information that you sought
way
back when.
