Hi, Steve, I haven't tried it yet for single-column mode (I use it for *forcing* a 3-columned index), but the package "multicol" http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/multicol.html might work for you. In my preamble, I have the following:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Index is 3 columns, with bold letter headers %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \usepackage{multicol} \newcommand\NrCol{3} \renewenvironment{theindex}{% \columnseprule \z@ \columnsep 35\p@ \section*{\indexname}% [EMAIL PROTECTED] \begin{multicols}{\NrCol}% \thispagestyle{plain}\parindent\z@ \parskip\z@ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] }{\clearpage\end{multicols}} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I suspect this could be adapted to your case, though I'm not entirely sure how.

Hi all, My index contains lots of long phrases, meaning most of them wrap. This makes it harder to read and use, and also makes it very long. In fact, having a single column index probably wouldn't be much longer, because entries would not wrap. Anyone know how to create a single column index?
