inserting more than one letter for alphabetic group in index headi
I have to build an index from these parts codes: GAA-1111333, GBB-1119039,
GEL-127559. How to build such an index with the first three letters showing in the index heading for alphabetic group using field code \h "A" . Below are the field codes that I need to modify: INDEX \e " "\h "A" \c "2" \g "4105" If these are not the right ones please specify others Thanks in advance |

I don't believe this is possible. I think you'll need to take a different
approach, perhaps using GAA, GBB, etc., as your main index entries and the various parts codes as subentries. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for your reply Suzanne.
This is what I would like to get in my index (so far I have to do it over manually after each update: GBO GBO-12C112G8 4 GBO-12C114G8 6 GEC GEC-112C5 8 GEC-12C5Z 6 but this is what I get when I use the following field codes: INDEX \e " "\h "A" \c "2" \g "4105" G GBO-12C112G8 4 GBO-12C114G8 6 GEC-112C5 8 GEC-12C5Z 6 Is there any workaround other than using the main entry and subentry approach. I mean if one can just simply modify these codes (INDEX \e " "\h "A" \c "2" \g "4105") so that the index heading extract the first three letters for each group (i.e. GBO, GEC) Thanks in advance "simmarko" wrote: I have to build an index from these parts codes: GAA-1111333, GBB-1119039, GEL-127559.

As I said, I don't see any way to do it other than with main entries and
subentries. Note that you could format the Index 1 style to look the same as the alphabetical divider headings and Index 2 to be the same as the default Index 1, which should give pretty much the desired result. -- Suzanne S.
