I just bought the 15th ed. of CMS (yes, I know I should've had it a long time ago) on CD-ROM. Actually, I thought I was buying the print version, didn't read...

CD-ROM. It's a program. With functions. No, it doesn't come with the paper book. Didn't seem expensive to me, especially when you consider that a lot of...
Oh, darn. What I copied and pasted from CMS didn't come out. So if you want a laugh, go look at 5.58 in the 15th edition. Cheers, Carol ... Indexing services:...

Aha -- this is in 5.57 in my print copy of the 15th edition. Have section numbers changed, or did you mistype 5.58? (I wonder if the joker writing 5.57 was...

Florida indexers are invited to a gathering at my home in St. Augustine on January 12th from 11:30 to 1:30. Bring a brown bag lunch and I'll provide beverages...
As far as I can see, CMS is silent on the question of how to enter an author/title that is only mentioned once in an indented index. It seems meaningless to...
That's exactly how I'm handling it. If it's not the prevailing style, let's make it so. ;-) Cheers, Carol ... Indexing services: http://www.RobertsIndexing.com...
... I don't understand why you would want to enter an index entry of "author:title". If the text mentions "History of the Peloponnesian War " by Thucydides,...

Hi Bobbi, I would do it both ways. As a user and a librarian I would be looking first for Camp Gunnery before Gunnery, Camp. Looking forward to see what others...
Hi, I am indexing a book that uses cartoons (Dilbert, Garfield etc) to emphasize points in the text. How would any of you index these? Thanks, Margy...
I would be prone to do something like this: Dilbert (cartoon) on office gossip on political spending Garfield (cartoon) on gluttony on laziness Hope this...
