Hi Noelene,Yes if you produce an RTF file with Legacy then you have to create the Index and Table of Contents within Word. If you didn't create them AFTER you've done your editing, then all or many of the page numbers would be wrong. Legacy imbeds the necessary codes into the RTF file if you've chosen Table of Contents and Index as part of your Report Options - you don't have to do it manually. You can see the codes if you turn on Hidden text in Word.
To produce them takes a few clicks using the Word > Insert > Reference - Index and Tables
The limitation with RTF is that you can only have a Location Index OR a Name Index. Not both as you can with PDF.
Re Digest Mode mailing lists. I have no idea why people use them. Lists are more easily read by sending each list to its own mailbox. Then they can be sorted in any way you wish and the ones you are interested in read far more quickly and easily.
However for those who for some reason prefer Digest mode, 99% of the time I remember to snip all taglines and old messages.

I posted a query some days ago about generating text, photos and index in one file. Thanks to Elizabeth and Peter for their responses. I've been fiddling and struggling with it ever since, trying to work it out myself, but since James' query today - and give the gent a break, he's only venting his frustration - re his lost message, it has prompted me to mention that you can "create" a text file with index and export it as an RTF file to MSWord but the index and contents don't show, but if you "create" a text file with index and export it as a PDF document it DOES create contents and index. This you can then copy, cut and paste into your word processing programme but with all formatting lost. No problem. We usually tinker with the format to our own design any way, at least the text is all there AND THE INDEX. I have over 8000 people in my file now and refuse to do it manually. Re James' comments about sig lines - I agree. Way too many and way too big. Can't they be condensed? I unsubbed from the digest to individual emails for this very reason. The digest was mostly repeated parts of earlier posts and sig lines. A frustrating time waster. Noelene Jenkinson Horsham, Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
