Word 2007 index format: how to create alphabetical groups
The Word 2007 index dialog includes the "Classic" format which groups entries
alphabetically, with a letter of the alphabet as the group heading. If I select from Formats the "From template" option, so I can customize the index style, there are no alphabetical groups and headings. How can I enable this? Regards, Ian |

Word 2007 index format: how to create alphabetical groups
You'll need to modify the INDEX field to include the \h switch:
\h "Heading" Inserts text formatted with the Index Heading style between alphabetic groups in the index. Enclose the text in quotation marks. The field { INDEX \h "€” A€” " } displays the appropriate letter before each alphabetic group in the index. To insert a blank line between groups, use empty quotation marks: \h "". -- Suzanne S.

How is it able to do so, whereas the "From template" format can not? Otherwise I'd have to do this manually, which kind of defeats the object of a Concordance file? |

"From template" means only that the index will use the Index styles as
modified and saved in the attached template (Normal.dotm or another). It has no bearing on the INDEX field syntax. You can edit the INDEX field manually (press Alt+F9 to display the field code), and you can save the edited field as an AutoText entry (building block). -- Suzanne S.

Since the Classic format accomplishes the task of adding the tag to the Index field, how do I edit its style. Somewhere it seems to be making the body text into the Calibri font, and I want to change this? Thanks again. |

Unfortunately, those styles cannot be edited. Only "From template" can be
modified. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "iantresman" wrote in message ...
