Different Styles for Multiple Indices
Hi,
I have a rather large document in which I'm creating two indices: one for acronyms {\f "a"} and the other for definitions {\f "d"}. I'm using the \t switch to contain either the acronym description or the word/phrase definition, since I don't really want page numbers to show. The problem however, lies in when I try to apply different Index styles to my {INDEX} field. For the {INDEX \f "a"} acronym index, I've chosen an indented index type so that the acronyms & associated descriptions appear in a columnar fashion; I've modified Index 1 style to meet this desire. But for the {INDEX \f "d"} field, I've tried to do a run-in type of index and I've tried to click the Modify button to choose Index 2 style, but I can't seem to get that selection to stick. Somehow it keeps defaulting back to Index 1, which is formatted for my acronym list. I have found a workaround by manually reformatting my definitions list with my desired formatting and then locking the field. But this really sort of defeats the purpose of automating it all. Any help would be greatly appreciated! --JT |

Different Styles for Multiple Indices
You can't control which styles are being used for the index entries. In a
run-in index, all entries use the Index 1 style; in an indented index, Word applies the appropriate Index style (Index 1, Index 2, and so on, up to Index 9) based on the level of indentation. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "JT Klipfer" wrote in message ...

Hi Stefan--Thanks for letting me know. I've found a way around this by
making my acronyms indexed entries and my definitions TOA entries. Not perfect, but it gets the job done!

That seems like a clever workaround!

Shauna has an article about a similar use:

Good to know. (I have to confess I know almost nothing about the Table of
Authorities feature.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Oh sorry ... I must not have turned on auto notify!
Anyway, that was the exact article I found that gave me the idea to split them up. Thanks Stefan & Suzanne!--JT "Suzanne S.
