I've done a few jobs for Elsevier but not their new method. Can anyone tell me what it is, what's involved, and whether I need to do anything special to learn...
I have completed quite a few of their enhanced indexes. Very easy to do. No additional knowledge needed other than what they explain. Dawn M. Jett Indexer,...
I'm getting curious. What is this enhanced index? Katharyn Dunham ... From: "Dawn J" <md2azdawn@...> To: <indexersdiscussionlist@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...

Thanks so much, Charles! This author is strange. I asked to see a few sample pages. She swore me to secrecy, and sent only 3 pages lest I divulge her...
Paula, Your paranoid author who is insisting on a contract sets off a yellow warning light in my mind. Try to anticipate any imaginable disagreement and put...
Thanks, Elliot. I did include that paragraph. I sent the agreement t her, and she said she will "look it over" and respond. Methinks I won't include her job as...
Hello All I'm sure some of you will snicker at what seems like such an elementary question but here goes! In this world history book I'm working on there is...
Ha! to your Clinton analogy! Why use "the" at all? If you were indexing, say, Italians or Americans, there wouldn't be the article. And even if the author uses...
A good question. If the world history continues into contemporary times, I would have: Greeks [perhaps defined as "contemporary," "modern," or other time ...
Thanks all. I feel really silly. Someone offline made mention of going "stare crazy" after staring at words and monitors all the time and I claim this as the...

Along similar lines, any suggestions for "the self"? A lot of the books I index talk about "the self", and it always seems somehow wrong to just have "self",...
Amy- I would guess you are indexing in the area of Psychology and Self-Improvement. You can use 'Self' it does not take an article. Jeannine ... From:...
I've made indexes with "the self," and indexed it as "self"---just as I would any other noun. In this case, of course, I would use the singular. Same with...
Thanks to those who answered my question about Elsevier, both on and off list. I have a bad habit of forgetting to say thanks or to give any followup. I guess...
Is there a way to make sections of pdfs, e.g. names, able to be copied and pasted so they can be put in indexing software? I've tried it on a few pdfs and...
