I am creating an Alphabetic name index for a large book (700+pages). When the index is generated, there is an occasional page number with a "p" following it. I have not been able to find an explanation to what it means. Can anyone tell me what it means?
The indexing facility can combine identical entries on the same or consecutive pages. So "entry 22, entry 22" would be combined as "entry 22", "entry 22, entry 23" as "entry 22p." and "entry 22, entry 23, entry 24" as "entry 22pp." - with "p" meaning "and following page" and "pp" meaning "and following pages". This seems to be the default option. If you prefer not to see the p. and pp. forms, you can remove the tick from right-click | Edit Index/Table | Index/Table | Options | Combine identical entries with p or pp.
The help text attempts to explain this, but gets it slightly wrong, I think. I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
