How do I get rid of index "switches" in the print layout?
I am in the process of writing an extensive word document that will soon
include an index at the end. I know how to mark text for the index; however, this makes the document difficult to read in the print layout view. For example, if I mark "John Doe" for the index, then I see: John Doe{ XE "John Doe"} According to Microsoft Office Word Help, when you mark text as an index entry, Microsoft Word inserts an XE (Index Entry) field formatted as hidden text. This character formatting that allows you to show or hide specified text. Microsoft Word indicates hidden text by underlining it with a dotted line and displays no result in the document. To view this field, click the Show/Hide ¶. HOWEVER, even when I click the Show/Hide ¶ I can still see the XE (Index Entry) field. Please tell me that there is some way to hide this or make it more user friendly. It is incredibly hard to edit this document without constantly switching over to the print preview to figure out how the document will look in the end. Not to mention this double text throughout my paragraphs is highly distracting. -- Erica Milburn Houston, TX |
