Thanks Roger, I have learned the hard way about replacing text. It took me forever to make my standard index clean up from such mistakes.
Thanks again Pete -----Original Message----- From: Shuttleworth, Roger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 2:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Stuart Rogers Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Alphabetizing a generated list of Figures or Tables And another suggestion regarding getting markers into paragraphs of a particular format (assuming you don't use IXGen): Do a Find using the specific paragraph format. When you do Find Next, the paragraph is selected. Then Esc,s,m will open the marker box with the text already in it. But remember to click in the para before adding the marker, otherwise the marker replaces the selected text!

I'll just add that a work-around, if you want to sort the list you have, would be to convert it to a table, one cell per paragraph, and then sort the table. It's a maintenance headache of course, nothing automated about it, but it would accomplish what you ask. best, -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited Toronto, ON, Canada +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 srogers phoenix-geophysics com If it makes things work more easily, why isn't it called lubrican? _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/roger_shuttleworth%40tvw orks.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
