Please excuse the triple-posting! I need to purchase a copy of CIndex (for a PC) asap. I am looking to buy a used copy. Anyone have one they'd be interested in...

I need to make the entry: The Nation's Report Card in Dance Do I enter it that way, or: Nation's Report Card in Dance, The Or both ways? I am asking because I...
... I would enter it with the "The" at the end and sort under N. That's the general rule, though sometimes it makes for really "ugly" entries. Sonsie...
You would never index that under "The." You can type it either way, but index it in the Ns. Once you choose a style, be consistent throughout your index. If...
Thanks Carol, I think I was just being lazy as well as tired! Thanks for helping to clear the cobwebs! Bobbi You would never index that under "The." You can...
I guess that is why I had to ask - it just didn't look good to me at all. I don't have any other entries (so far) that start with "the", so when I entered it...
... Avoiding the ugly is why I leave the article out front and ignore it in sorting. You can do that, so long as you do it consistently. Cheers, Carol Roberts,...
Bobbi, You may want to see what your editor prefers. Some of my clients like it at the beginning with a foreced sort and some prefer it at the end of the entry...
Hello For my own sake of clarification allow me to ask this question. Many of the scholarly books I index make oodles of reference to other texts, articles,...
Thank you Ken, Carol, Sonsie, Caryn, and everyone else who so kindly responded to my question about this entry. I am going to put the "the" at the end of the...
Ken, you didn't ask a question! Don't leave us hanging! Most of my scholarly clients also prefer "The" to be left in front (and ignored in sorting, of course)....
Carol Nabberd you snart-aleck you! I was wondering if SOMEONE was going to ask me what the question was! I guess my question was, Can you realy have "The" come...
I guess my question was, Can you realy have "The" come at the end as in, "Cat in the Hat, The" ? ~~~~~ _Chicago Manual of Style_, 15th edition, section, 18.51,...
Heidi Thanks, I only have two Chicago Manuals of Style and three of the Indexes chapters as separate sitting here on my desk! duhhhh Ken ... traditionally...
Sometimes it is easy to forget to check - and Chicago doesn't cover everything. But they have a position on titles. I still check to see if a client has...
Ken, All of the publishers I've indexed for, which includes scholarly, trade and children's and young adult, want "Cat in the Hat, The." Ina Ina Gravitz I....
Ina I stand (actually, I sit) corrected. I can't imagine that I have seen it like that but that is the truth! Ken ... front (and ... capacity as ... happen?] ...
The Cat in the Hat Cat in the Hat, The I've worked for different presses who have favored one or the other of the above options. Both are considered to be...
Sylvia's experience mirrors mine. But, I do have a preference. I much prefer the full and accurate title in real, accurate order. I find many venues that...
I need advice on how to enter this name. Thich Nhat Hanh Nhat Hanh, Thich or Hanh, Thich Nhat I find him easily on the net, but don't see anything other than...
Thich is not a given name; it is the title of repect. It is the Vietnamese equivalent of Reverend or Rinpoche. That much said, I recognize that readers may not...
This sounds like a Vietnamese name, and if that is the case, according to CMS, The surname is given first, so you just make the entry as it is, no inversion is...
Hi, Donna! I'm in your class and also in your state--although far away from the wild wooly west aspects of this state (I was a lot closer to cows in Oklahoma...
Rae, Chicago suggests that they be indexed under theim last name, first name with a cross-reference under Thich Nhat Hanh. In an interview in Religion and...
LC isn't always correct. I once reviewed an index with an entry under Rinpoche (as the surname). I pointed out that's like entering someone under Reverend. She...
Hang in there, I thought that same thing when I started out - will I ever be able to do it? - and now, 3 years later - I am doing it, and loving it! Enjoying...
