------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Dec 11 17:14:05 +0000 2007 ------- A few more experience notes: A legal document can require multiple sections in the ToA -- for reference, this can be emulated by using "Cases", "Statutes", and "Treatises" as index "keys," if you can accept the alphabetical sort those categories get. It does require painfully editing every index entry anchor in the document once you realize this, of course. You can make as many "user-defined" indexes as you want, but as of 2.0.2 user-defined indexes cannot be sorted alphabetically and do not inherit the options to 'combine' keys and do page number ranges. This is a huge drawback to the index feature and recent documentation suggests it hasn't changed in later versions. The alphabetic sort naturally doesn't have the intelligence to numerically sort statutory references like the below properly (predictable, but an annoyance): C.G.S. §55-555(a)(1) C.G.S. §55-555(a)(11) C.G.S. §55-555(a)(6) The document I'm preparing requires an Appendix which requires its own multiple Tables of Authority; given the above, I have no choice but to put it in a different file, and will still run into problems requiring manual editing, since it should really be separate Tables / Indexes for different types of content with page breaks between. As above, if you can only get alphabetical sort and intelligent combining of keys and page ranges: C.G.S. §55-555(a)(6)........3, 5-8, 43, 49, 52 ...for the predefined types, you can only really have one index. (Ideally, I'd be able to create a bunch of named user-defined indexes: Testimony, Statutes, Cases, ... , which would all *be* of the alphabetically sorted type. Or smarter legally-aware types.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
