Default Multiple indexes

Hi

By way of background, Im using Word 03 and have a large document with 8
seperate indexes in it that Im having problems with.

1) For some reason some of my indexes lines appear like this:
Plants...........................57
Tree........................57
Shrub 58
Flower.....................88
I can get the 58 to right hand justify manually but dont understand why its
randomly do it in the first place.

2) I want to do a page range eg Plants.............57 - 88. I cant find any
information on how to bookmark a range of pages and get them to appear in the
particular index that I want. Is this possible?

3) Is there anyway to do an index that looks like this:
Plant Division.......................................... .........50
Manager Smith, Bob..............50
Assistant Manager Jones, Mary.............50
Planters: Black, Karl...............51
Yellow, Sara...........51
Pink, Peter..............51
Animal Divison........................................... ......55
Manager........................Orange, Kare..........56etc

kind regards
Tracey

Default Multiple indexes

For (1), make sure that the Index 2 style has a tab stop in the appropriate
place (and no others). For (2), you need to bookmark the page range and then
include the bookmark in the XE field (there's a place for this in the Mark
Index Entry dialog). As for (3), I don't believe there's any way to do that
with an index.

Hi Suzanne, Ive reset all the tabs so not sure why its still doing it. Will

but will sit down with my notes and give it a go again. Pity about 3.
Thanks once again for the help. Trace
