How do I conflate index page numbers in Word 203?
John McGhie, in "How do I generate an index in Word?" gives one way to mark
multiple pages for the index : "If you place the same index tag on each page of the topic, Word will automatically conflate the page numbers." My index results do not reflect this. Instead they put every page # with a comma between. I'm aware of the bookmark option, but would like to know if this other way conflates the numbers. Thanks |

No, it does not. John is mistaken.

How do I conflate index page numbers in Word 203?
The other day someone was looking for stuff FrameMaker does better
than Word wrt indexes and cross references -- this is one of them. You can have it compress page ranges like this. Unfortunately no one seems to have implemented Chicago style for page ranges: 233-46 233-38 507-9 500-509 On Jul 21, 2:53 pm, "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: No, it does not.

How do I conflate index page numbers in Word 203?
Is even Chicago still using this style? I get the impression everyone is
spelling everything out now: 233-246 233-238 507-509 500-509 -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ...

How do I conflate index page numbers in Word 203?
Nah, computer-generated indexes are spelling everything out. (I always
spell out life dates -- "George Washington (1732-99)" looks disrespectful.) And I really dislike the super-compressed European style: 233-8 500-9 On Jul 21, 6:25 pm, "Suzanne S.

How do I conflate index page numbers in Word 203?
It may seem disrespectful to abbreviate life dates, but Chicago doesn't seem
to make any exception for them; it does make an exception for inclusive dates in titles of books. There can be problems where consistency is desired. Rotary years run from July through June, so they were always 1997-98, 1998-99, and so on. When the year reached 2000, RI apparently didn't know how to handle it, and you see 1999-00, 2000-01, etc. I ended up having to follow this plan in listing our past presidents on the outside of the bulletin just because there isn't room for a longer form. -- Suzanne S.
