To Herb Palm: I really need some help on how to set up an Index in Word Perfect; I think I'm doing what the Helps say and it doesn't seem to work. Word Perfect 10 was on this (blankety-blank) machine when I got it, and I'm still not used to it (had Word 97 before - and never made an index). Please send your e-mail address to me or put it on list for all. Would be most appreciated. Connie Wills
Even though I have WP-9 and I have used WP-7, this will sure work in WP-10.
I probable went through much of the same proceedures(another name for grief) this afternoon that you went through. I didn't have the INDEX OPTION checked in Legacy and no matter how often I went through generating an index in Word perfect I came up with a BIG zero. I went back to an old .RFT file created in 2002 and that worked perfectly.
By the time Word 97 told me that no names were marked for indexing I had already determined Legacy hadn't marked any names. So the important thing is to check the "Index Option!!!
Now in Word Perfect the operation is as follows:
Open the .RTF file which WP will convert. Next left click on "Tools", mouse down to "References", mouse over to the right to "Index" and left click.
Put your cursor at the end of the document where the index will be created. By this time you should have made ALL modifications to the file, i.e adding pictures, changing margins, text, anything that would cause one or more names to change page numbers. This way the index will be correct where the name(s) are on the page(s). Creating an INDEX is the last thing you want to do before printing it!!!!!!
On the newly created tool bar just above the document left click on the "Define" tab. You must go through defining the page numbering. Left click on page numbering and select one of several styles. The default may be "Text . . . . . # " and if that's ok leave it. Next left click on "Page Numbering" and change the format if desired. Mine says [Page #] which is quite acceptable. Left click on OK.
Next left click on "Generate in the new tool bar and . . . VIOLA!!! the index appears on the screen.
I also tried this in Word 97. Even though the procedure is slightly different it work when the names are properly marked for indexing.
Good luck everyone.
Herb.
