Deleting Index Field Codes
The publisher of my book is going to paginate my index for me, but doesn't
want any codes in the document. I can't remember how to delete ALL the index codes from the entire document. |

Deleting Index Field Codes
You shouldn't have to delete the index codes, as they're hidden text.
If you need to do it anyway, you can use Find and Replace. Find: ^d XE Replace: [null] I.E. you search for in index field and replace it with nothing. Once you're confident that it's working, you can click Replace All. You have to show your non-printing characters for this to work. Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 |

Deleting Index Field Codes
Thanks, Bear. It didn't work the first time I tried that, so I posted the
question. But then it did work - go figure. I have no idea why iUniverse wants all the codes deleted - it must have something to do with their computerized "typesetting". Thanks again.

Glad to help. And thanks for rating the post.
Sometimes I just have to stand beside a co-worker who's having trouble with Word and the trouble goes away. I think Word is a little bit afraid of me. Or maybe it just wants me to think it is.

You can't find the XE fields unless you have Hidden text displayed.

Deleting Index Field Codes
Hi all,
I'm creating an index & have a similar question, but don't want to delete all fields. Example: I marked all the occurrences of the number "two," then thought better of the alphabetic choice & decided to include numeric, "2, two." I don't want to cross-reference for a number of reasons. This simple little solution is what works best for my project. Since I already marked up a whole bunch of "two"s, I'd like to know how I can go back over the document & edit ALL those fields (globally, if possible) so the "2, two" choice is the one that shows in all occurrences. I'm using MS-WORD 2000 Professional. Hope that's clear. Thanks for your help. "Bear" wrote: Glad to help. And thanks for rating the post.
