Hi All,
Is there a way, when marking index entries, to see entries that have been marked already in order to decide where "this one" might go? Seems pretty elementary. TIA Susan |

Displaying Hidden text will show you all the existing XE fields.

Thank you, but I meant how, as I mark an index entry I can see a list
of all the entries that are in the index already. I don't want to have to go hunting through the whole doc for this I just want to see, as I mark, that there is already an entry for, say :Presidents, Abe Lincoln... etc. Thank You |

I'm not sure what the problem is? If the current occurrence of a certain word
is "sufficiently important," you would want it in the index (even if the word appears in other locations too). Note that if you add an entry that already exists, only the new page number will be added to the index; the entry won't appear twice. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP " wrote: Thank you, but I meant how, as I mark an index entry I can see a list of all the entries that are in the index already.

AFAIK, There isn't any such list - other than the index, itself - although I
imagine someone may have a macro for such a purpose. In the meantime, it's only if you are manually encoding each Index field item that this would be a concern: If you're using the Mark All button in the Insert Index Entry dialog that alone should obviate the problem - as you come to an item you intend to have in the Index it will already be marked if previously added. With non-printing characters displayed (¶) the {XE~} codes will be visible.

Not a macro, but an approach--open up the same document twice, in two
windows, scroll one window to the index, and keep updating the index regularly. This should show you what you already have as you are marking the new words.

Alternatively, you can split the window.
Word 2003: Window | Split. Word 2007: View tab | Split (Window group). Click at the location where you want to split. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message ...
