Default Word 2007 index format: how to create alphabetical groups

The "Classic" index field includes that switch?

You'll need to modify the INDEX field to include the \h switch:

\h "Heading"
Inserts text formatted with the Index Heading style between alphabetic
groups in the index. Enclose the text in quotation marks. The field {
INDEX
\h "€” A€” " } displays the appropriate letter before each alphabetic group
in
the index. To insert a blank line between groups, use empty quotation
marks:
\h "".



Thanks for that. The "Classic" index format obviously does this
automatically. How is it able to do so, whereas the "From template" format
can not?

Otherwise I'd have to do this manually, which kind of defeats the object
of
a Concordance file?
