Index question
I think she meant MS (manuscript); MSS is plural.

Word version: 2007 No the entries are not heading they are "in the text" The book I am working on is a religious MSS. MSS? The pages are very large with a great deal of text on each page. However the page itself is broken up into many sections (with a heading) so the reader will find the section faster through this method. Hmm. He will find it faster *once* he's found the page, yes. Is the text in separate columns on the pages? If not, I'd certainly consider a redesign of the document (readability). You say there is no "out of the box" solution. Well is there a inbox solution? What I meant is that most probably you'll need some macro code to solve this. A possible algorithm would take the result of a normal index, run through all entries, locate it on the given page, then locate the nearest preceding section, and insert the section number in the index. Unfortunately, I'm not a coder myself. There are vba newsgroups around, though. DO you know and resources that could help me with this? Tutorials especially on Word indexing? There is an article on indexing (and many on Word-VBA) on the Word-MVP site: http://word.mvps.org HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
