There should not be separate entries for the artists, just the songs as
subentries of the artists. If you have entered each song as { XE
Artist:Song }, you should be getting an index that looks like this:
Artist A
Song 1
Song 2
Song 3
Artist B
Song 1
Song 2
Artist C
Song 1
Song 2
Song 3
Song 4
To get the space between artists, add some Spacing Before to the Index 1
styles.

Thanks very much, Suzanne. I now can continue inserting my XE fields
for the songs (Index2) and the artists (Index1) - only about 300 to go!
.
I am getting a format that looks like this:
INDEX1
INDEX2
INDEX2
INDEX2
INDEX1
INDEX2
INDEX1
INDEX2
INDEX2
Is there a way to change the layout/formatting of the index? Ideally,
I'd like to have something that makes it a little easier to distinguish
to the songs (Index2) that go with each artist (Index1). Something
like this:
INDEX1 : INDEX2
INDEX2
INDEX2
INDEX1: INDEX2
INDEX1: INDEX2
INDEX2
I don't see any way to make this formatting.
Thanks again!

You need to create an index, and for this you need to insert XE fields.
See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/Createindex.htm. Note that the
artist
will be the main index entry (best to include the names last name first,
e.g. "Brooks, Garth"), and the song titles will be subentries.

I am having trouble creating an "index" for a document I've put
together. I've compiled some guitar music (chords) into a large
document and have successfully created a TOC using the song titles. I
have the "song title" as the first-level heading and the "artist" as a
second-level heading, but my TOC only uses the song title. The songs
(and the resulting TOC) are in alphabetical order. What I'd like to
do
is create a second TOC (or and index?) that gives a list of the
artists
and a sub-list of their particular songs (again, in alphabetical
order).
Example:
TOC1:
Country Roads
Friends in Low Places
Leaving on a Jet Plane
The Dance
TOC2:
Garth Brooks - Friends in Low Places
(Garth Brooks) - The Dance
John Denver - Country Roads
(John Denver) - Leaving on a Jet Plane
I don't want the page numbers - just the listing. Is this possible?
Thanks.
