Re: Indexing -- Edit Topics List

Gordon, if I understand your suggestions correctly, you are describing
ways to edit the index entries. I want to edit the topics list.

I think that for short text that might be the easiest way, but you
could export each story as tagged text, and do a search/replace on
that, then place it back into the file.

A tagged text entry for an index item would appear something like
this:


<*INDEX 1 1 0 0 0 ("More" "" "")>Moore


so you'd do a search in the text filr for something like ("More"


If you had a long book and mostly in one text block that might just
possibly be a timesaver.


Other possibilities, with a list of the page entries, go to each page,
select the type including that word (or a substantial part of the
page), hit Control-E to open the story editor with that text selected.
Look for the index marker (which is a black rectangle with a white
diamond in it) select that and hit Control-Y to open the index entry
dialog and change the spelling.


Again, I'm not sure that would save ant time over your own suggestion.
