Index Entries
Version: 2000
I've inherited a lengthy index and need to add to it. It seems the person before manually typed in page numbers for names of people. I am using Word's indexing feature, but when I select and mark a name (John Smith, for example), the entry shows up in the index under "J." How can I tell Word 2000 that when I select a name, I want that name to show up as "Smith, John" under the "S" section? Is there a field code I need to change, or is it VBA, or...? Thanks for any advice/help on this! kpchop |

Index Entries
Hi kpchop,
You need to go in and modify each individual XE field in the document, so that it reflects the entry as you want it to appear in the index. There is no alternative to this. If you have many similar entries, then it may be possible to do some bulk editing by means of judiciously selected find & replace operations. But in the end, you will have to make the changes, rebuild the index, take a look and see if you have missed anything, make the additional changes, rinse & repeat. -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP http://www.multilinker.com Please reply to the newsgroup "kpchop" wrote in message ...
