Creating an Index based on Table Heading
I am trying to create an index for a large document which contains multiple
tables. I have set it up so that each of the tables has the same fields and styles. I have tried using a concordance file to create the index, but it is entirely too long. I would like to know if there is a way to create an index for a document of this format which would be more of an automated way of creating an index as the fields in each of the tables are the same (only different values). I'm not sure of how to write a macro for something like this (if that can be done by looking at StyleRefs). ALso, if the data in the table changes (change name of one of the tables or the values) i would like to be able to have the index be updated as well so that if a new document of this type is created, i would not have to go through and re-mark all of the fields. Any ideas that anyone might have will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. |

Creating an Index based on Table Heading
Is it really an index (alphabetical list of key words) or a table of
contents (list of headings in the order in which they appear in the document) that you want? -- Suzanne S.

Creating an Index based on Table Heading
Since an index relies on XE fields, depending on how you update the tables,
the XE fields would still be in place. I guess you're going to have to provide more information about the composition of the tables and what is being indexed. -- Suzanne S.
