transferring index contents into text file
Hi
I am trying to extract the contents of an index Word 2002 created into a simple text file I can send to the book publishers who need it as a PC file. When I copy and paste the index into a new separate Word file and then try to print it, the new index changes into an error message. How can I create a new file containing the index text formatted the way it is presently formatted in the original document? Thank you. |

Open the document that contains the index. Select the index. Press
Ctrl+Shift+F9 to convert the index field to ordinary text. Copy and paste the index text to a new document. Close the original document without saving changes.

You can equally well copy and paste the "live" index into a new document;
just unlink it before you print (printing updates fields). -- Suzanne S.

Thank you Suzanne. Is it Ctrl+Shift+F9 that unlinks it?
