Dublicate index entries
Hi,
somehow, I've got the same entry appearing several times in my index. Could that be because of different formats? It looks like this Sample Text Sub-Sample Text 18 Sub-Sample Text 18 Sample Text 11, 14, 18 Sample Text 30 Sample Text 39 The Text is absolutely identical. Regards |

It suggests you have a duplicate XE field at that point. Go to p. 18,
show hidden text, and delete one of them. On Jun 9, 7:30*am, Fabian wrote: Hi, somehow, I've got the same entry appearing several times in my index. Could that be because of different formats?

Dublicate index entries
Hi,
Thank you for your answer. That could be. I'll have a look at it as soon as possible... But what about "Sample Text" which appears 5 times on different pages but is shown seperately?

Ah. I didn't get that that was part of your complaint. That suggests
that the text within the XE field is not absolutely identical -- Word doesn't care what the document text is, only what's typed inside the XE field -- so check for leading or trailing spaces, nonbreaking spaces, accented vs. plain letters, or any other differences. It's also possible that when you have a second-level index entry, all the first-level ones will have to end with a semicolon (if I'm correctly remembering that that's the marker Word uses to set off the second level).

XE fields for second-level entries are { XE "First:Second" } (that is,
colon, not semicolon). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "grammatim" wrote in message ... Ah.
