pthowe 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2012 How do I create a surname index? I understand that if I output to "Word" I can create an index. I am not sure what flag I need to set in TMG or what steps to take in Word to create. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2012 I would suggest reading the 'Report Options: Indexes' help topic. Basically... 1) You select the index options in the report options. 2) You generate the report to a Word document. The document will contain the index field codes. 3) You go to the end of the document in Word and insert an index. How you do this differs for different Word versions. Check help in Word for how to insert an index. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pthowe 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 I have the trial version v8. Does that support Index in Word? I have looked at the documentation. I am still unsuccessful. Any other help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 The trial version is the full version as long as the trial hasn't expired. Again... All TMG does is to generate the index field codes in the Word document... assuming that you made index selections in the report options. You create the index in Word.

Virginia Blakelock 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 For example, in the Journal report click on the Options button at the lower left on the report configuration screen and then select the Indexes tab. Choose the information you wish to include in your index. I would suggest accepting the default Index entries and then seeing what you would like differently. The (hidden) Word Index codes will be inserted in your report. For Report Destination, save to Microsoft Word. How you insert the Index (generated from the hidden codes) in Word will depend on your version of Word. In Word 2010, navigate to the place in your document where you want the Index and click on References / Insert Index on the ribbon at the top. Click on OK and the Index should be inserted. The TMG Help Topic 'Report Options: Indexes' has some tips for using the indexes and the results of the different options. Virginia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pthowe 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks that is what I needed. I was not looking in the options button for the index information. I have gotten an index to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
