Using Office Home/Student 2007, how do I format/align ellipsis in Index with
page numbers?

[Herb Tyson [MVP]]

Do you really mean ellipsis, are are you talking about a string of periods
that goes from the entry over to the page number? If the latter, they're
called tab leaders. In the References tab, click Insert Index. Click to
enable Right align page numbers, and selected the desired type of "Tab
leader".

If you have created an index using an INDEX field (or a table of contents
with a TOC field), this will be automatic.

Thanks...you're right... I meant adding/aligning a string of periods. I
tried Inserting Index, but I must be doing something wrong. After following
your directions, the text "No index entries found." was inserted on the page.
What am I missing?

I didn't create the index using the INDEX field. Just typed the text
intending to add page numbers afterwards. Not sure how to create an index .

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Well, first we need to know whether you really mean an index (alphabetical,
back of the book) or a table of contents (chronological, front of the book).
If the latter, see http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html. If
the former, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/Createindex.htm

[Herb Tyson [MVP]]

You're missing index entries. Creating an index is a two step process.
First, you use Mark Entry to mark those words you want in the index. Then
you insert the index.

For marking entries, use Mark Entry in the References tab. Alt+Shift+X is
the keyboard shortcut.

For built-in help on the process, press F1, type "index", then click on
"Create an index".

[grammatim[_2_]]

You can still save all the typing you've done (this time) -- if
there's a tab before the page number(s) in each entry. Select all the
paragraph-entries in the index, click at the right end of the ruler at
the top to insert a tab, then click precisely on that tab marker to
open the tabs dialog. Then choose "right" and the kind of leader you
want -- the dot leader should be the first choice below "None."

Come clean ... did you already have a tab before each page number
(group), or did you have to go back and add them?

And you have to promise that the next time you do an index, you'll do
it the right way, by inserting XE fields and letting Word do the work.
(It'll even insert the field on every occurrence of a word you want it
to.)

It works as long as the document as open; unfortunately, once you have
closed the document, you can't reopen it and return to the last edit
position with Shift+F5. I would miss it, too.

The Shift F5 topic is from an old discussion dated 10/1/07 as follows. I
just got Word 2007 last Friday and the Shift F5 feature does not work, unless
there's a fix for it somewhere. It worked for me every time in Word 2003.
Thank you.

Using Office Home/Student 2007, how do I format/align

Index

page numbers?-

I work at home. My computer is usually on from 7 or 8 in the morning till 11
or 12 at night, and I check into the NGs periodically.

meant.
I apologize for misunderstanding. wow, you work long hours! you were on
at
8:30 last night and now again this early

What I meant by "I haven't heard anything about this" was that I haven't
heard whether MS are working on a fix for the problem of Shift+F5 not
working on reopening a doc.

The Shift F5 topic is from an old discussion dated 10/1/07 as follows.
I
just got Word 2007 last Friday and the Shift F5 feature does not work,
unless
there's a fix for it somewhere. It worked for me every time in Word
2003.
Thank you.

thank you, yes, i finally figured it out. I had to click on the
actual
tab
setting (i.e., 6.63) and then choose the #2 dot leader and it
worked.

On a separate note, has there been any further decision on
reactivating
the
use of Shift F5 to go to the last edited location in a document? I
sure
miss
that feature. thank you

You can use any kind of tab stop, but you must go to the Tabs
dialog
and
choose a period leader, then click OK.

what kind of tab stop do I need before the number? I have tried
a
regular
tab and a right tab and neither will insert a dot leader. I used
to
have
this same problem with Word 2003. Word 2007 is worse

You can still save all the typing you've done (this time) -- if
there's a tab before the page number(s) in each entry. Select
all
the
paragraph-entries in the index, click at the right end of the
ruler
at
the top to insert a tab, then click precisely on that tab marker
to
open the tabs dialog. Then choose "right" and the kind of leader
you
want -- the dot leader should be the first choice below "None."

FWIW and IIRC, this is by design in 2007 (after closing a document, the
last editing position seems to be treated as undesired metadata).
