I am using OpenOffice 2.3.0
I have entered a 400 page document, and produced a alphabetical index of the names contained in it. I wish to clear the index and produce a different index that contains both Surname and forename for each person. How can I delete the original alphabetical index so that it does not come back. I need to be able to clear the markers in the main text.

I think you have to delete the index and clear the fields in the text separately.

To delete the index itself, right-click in the index itself and choose Delete Index/Table from the context menu.

To clear the fields where the entries originated:
o Find the first such field in the document and put the cursor in it (or immediately before it).
o  Go to Edit | Index Entry... or right-click | Index Entry... .
o In the Edit Index Entry dialogue, select Delete repeatedly as the fields are individually deleted and the focus moves through all of them.

I trust this helps.
