Indexes - Updating - Help!
I have a multi-file document (about 15 chapters, 3-300 pages each) which is
connected to a Word index with the "{XE...}" index codes. I updated the individual documents and now need to update the index. The procedure listed in Word's on-line help... "Click to the left of the index anf hit F9"... does not seem to do ANYTHING. Is it possible to update this type of index, and if so, what is the procedure? Would I be better off simply creating a new index? Can an index documant be created from multiple tagged files? Thank you!! |

How is the index "connected" to the documents? Was it constructed with RD
fields? -- Suzanne S.

Try clicking somewhere in the middle of the index and then press
F9 to update. C Csonka wrote: I have a multi-file document (about 15 chapters, 3-300 pages each) which is connected to a Word index with the "{XE...}" index codes.

Indexes - Updating - Help!
Suzanne,
I did not create these documents; I was hired to update them... Having said that, the documents all contain those Microsoft Index Entry "XE" tags or codes. The index seems contain the terms that have been marked with these codes. At the risk of exposing my ignorance, i don't know what you men by an "RD" field... Are we talking about the same thing? Does that clarify thingas? Thank you, Chris Csonka Columbia, MD "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: How is the index "connected" to the documents? Was it constructed with RD fields? -- Suzanne S.

Indexes - Updating - Help!
Hi,
Either I am not doing this right, I need more explicit directions, or that functionality simply DOES NOT WORK. As I stated in my original post, I followed the MS Help directions, as far as I could tell, clicking in the Index file, clicking in the document file that contain the XE {...} Index Entry codes, etc. I have clicked and clicked on F9... it seems to have no effect... Is there something ELSE that has to happen first? Does some setting have to be in place or disabled? Any further information woulf be helpful! Thank you!

The separate file that contains the index must be constructed with RD fields
if you want to be able to update it; see http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=148 for how it works with TOCs. -- Suzanne S.
