how to delete a old index entry?
You can delete the Index field itself just by selecting it and deleting it.
I suspect what you're looking for is a way to delete all the XE fields from which the index is generated. To do this, display Hidden text (so that you can see the XE fields); Word probably does this automatically when you open the document. Then use Find and Replace as follows: 1. In the "Find what" box, type ^19 XE 2. Leave the "Replace with" box empty. 3. Replace All. This will find, select, and delete all XE fields. -- Suzanne S.

how to delete a old index entry?
Hello,I have the same issue of all the index entries showing after major
edits to the document. I tried this fix but it found no instances of ^19 XE. When I look at the index ientries n the doc each is preceded by {.XE."text".} (where the . is actually centered on the line). Text that was deleted from the doc still shows up with the hidden text turned on. Is there a way to delete all the old index entries and then remark them? "Suzanne S.

{.XE."text".} is not the format for a Word XE field (which would be { XE
"text" }; perhaps you were using periods to indicate spaces? A search for ^19 XE or ^d XE should find these fields when Hidden text is displayed. If you are seeing deleted text, however, most likely Track Changes has been used and the changes have not been accepted. You probably have succeeded in deleting the XE fields, too. Try using Accept All Changes in Document. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you Suzanne. For whatever reasons, I am just not able to delete the index markings except one by one. "Suzanne S.

If you have Track Changes enabled and/or if you have not accepted changes,
you are going to continue to have this problem. -- Suzanne S.
