Hi all, For the Berkeley course, the Green index needs to be maximum 300 lines of 36 characters each. I've never really learned all the ins and outs of Word,...
You do need to do this in Word, but one way to reassure yourself about the character per line count is to show the Ruler (look on the View menu). Assuming you...
... That makes sense. Thanks. I think what confused me is that on the screen, that ruler is bigger than in real life, so those inches don't really look like...
... Kendra, since the book is already published and a new edition would necessitate a new index, it's unlikely you would get paid for that job. However, having...
... I don't know. I'm sure I learned that when taking the USDA course since we had to submit indexes to meet similar specs, but whether it was in the course...
... I use a low-tech method for estimating as I am not a Word expert: I generate the index in Word RTF, set in one column, in Courier (does not matter which...
... Actually, the key thing is not that Courier is 10 char/inch, but that some fonts are *proportional" and some are "monospaced". With proportional fonts, an...
Speaking as the person who wrote this assignment, and the directions, I'd like to just clarify the most important issue. When an editor gives this kind of...
Hi gang, I've been away and signed off the lists while I was gone, but I came back to find this. Apologize if people have already posted it. The Monroe Monitor...
The Graduate School (USDA) is proud to announce the addition of Beth Palmer to its faculty. Beth learned indexing from Nancy Mulvany as a student of the USDA's...
I need to buy a new computer, and I'm considering getting a Mac desktop. The problem is that I'm fairly sensitive to noise and would like one that's fairly...
Check out the website endpcnoise.com. They put together computer with all quiet components. I've been very satisfied with their products. Katharyn Dunham ... ...
... That would be the iMac? (http://www.apple.com/imac/) Yes, they are quite quiet. I haven't used this particular model of iMac, but you can try one at your...
Barbara Depending on your needs, you might like the Mac mini -- I'm on my 2nd one. See http://www.apple.com/macmini/ They do require a monitor (sold...
Beth: Such a great pleasure to welcome you as a colleague in the USDA basic indexing course. I know you will enjoy working with all the students as much as I...

If I remember correctly from the history of computing and computers, the click-clack was preferred by users over silent keyboards because it gave feedback...
Yessss! For decades I've had an "o" problem. When I type "tion" I move my finger to press the "o" but never quite press it hard enough, thus ending my word...
I could not let a statement in Kari's posting (that "Nancy Mulvany created the current inception of the course") stand as written so I dug through my archives...
Yikes! Nancy was grossly misinformed. Clearly she hasn't seen the materials. If she did, I'm certain she'd recognize them as her own. If she's interested, I'd...
Nancy has asked me to post this response to the announcement about the USDA course, as she is not a member of the lists. -- Jan ... Subject: Re: [Fwd:...
Hello All I have just about finished a large conversion project and the Cindex to Excel coversion was fraught with errors, almost all of which I have taken...
I was not going to comment, nor am I interested in engaging in a debate, so this will be my one and only post on this topic. However, I do feel it appropriate...
Kari, given your statements about Nancy's involvement in the course and her denial of involvement, this is starting to look like a private matter between you...
If anyone is interested in hearing complete information about the revision process Sylvia mentioned (and how others involved viewed that process in its...
Just so I don't have to reinvent the wheel: Anyone out there every built a hand-made index to be attached to a PDF document, with the page numbers being links...
... Maybe there is something in the latest version of Acrobat, but I tried it in 6.0. You can do it manually, but it's a nightmare. You have to draw a box...
Hi Joanne, I have done this using an Adobe Plug-In, which generates the index links in the pdf After you have written the index. So it is not a concordance....
