Hello All You know the way Acrobat has that great Search feature where your search results are in a nice column on the right-hand side of the pdf file with...
... Acrobat can do either one. One is called Search and the other Find. Each method is useful in some cases. Sorry, but I don't know the answer regarding MS...
Kenny, Could you simple save the Word doc as a PDF and then use the PDF search capabilities? Even if you're embedding stuff in the Word doc, the PDF would give...
Hi Paula Yes that is, of course, a great solution. I find that I can save small to medium size Word docs as searchable pdf's with no problem. I converted a 500...
Why not convert four 250-page files, then combine them???? I dunno if it would work. ... -- Paula [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...

Hi Judi, I have both DEXembed and WordEmbed installed on my system. I just checked my Word 2007 Add-Ons and they are both there. I'd suggest you contact James...
For those of you who may have missed last week's announcement, the Indexers Network has been up and running for a week, and now has over 120 members. The...
Hi Terri (and all!) Thanks for the recommendation, I just downloaded the Go2Text macro and have been trying it out. As a "power user" (I always wanted to call ...
Dear Collective Wisdom, I have come across an entry for an author-cited index that I need some help with. First let me say, that my instructions are to index...
I'd most likely just call it to the attention of the author/editor. Let them provide first names, okay indexing only last names, or clear you to ignore it. Dan...
I'd definitely make a query to the author/editor. Herek's work should be in the bibliography, too, even if the reference to it is tangential. You might make an...
Hi Susan, If you go to the bottom of p1 of this pdf: http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/rainbow/html/Current_Directions_preprint.pdf you will see the first names...
I work for a group of Chinese scholars, basically anglicizing their papers, journal articles, book chapters. (I also index their books.) A student (from China)...
Hello. My name is Lindsay, and I am currently taking the Indexing course through Berkeley. I reside in Edmonton, Canada, and am working on a PhD. I am hoping...
Welcome, Lindsay! What is the area of your PhD? and what a good idea to make historical materials more widely available! As a historian, I appreciate your...

And now having looked at the footnote in the Herek article, the indexer could construct the index entry. But that does not ameliorate the author's/editor's...
Joel I do agree about the author/editor responsibility to put full citations. It is not the indexer's task to add information but one does slip into doing it....
... Yes. And I agree that one should do a modest amount of such supplementing. But I think that applies to "authors discussed", where the book's author may...
I wanted to thank everyone who replied to my query. I will speak with the editor about the omission. Thanks again, Susan Susan Barnes Topcat Indexing Services ...
Lucie, I recall you said the two packages co-habit very nicely. Since I haven't heard from anyone else about this issue, I will contact James. Thanks much. ...
I work for a press that sends me their standard cover letter for indexers, into which the editor inserts a number of lines to aim for (in this case, "the total...
I'm working on a book about film production. Hundreds of titles (this is the same one I mentioned on the Cindexusers list). For all the titles that begin with...

... I suspect these aren't really your instincts so much as overthinking it, perhaps due to exhaustion. Use the force, Rae. By which I mean the indexing...
