Re: [FLEx] Word export: How can I suppress “Dictionary letter-headings”?

[Emmanuel HABUMUREMYI]

Hi all,

In my project I imported all concepts so that entries and sub-entries are stored as entries (each with an ID number at the entry level). When I export the dictionary to Word, the output inserts letter-headings (A, B, etc.) that end up mixed with my headwords. A short excerpt shows the problem:

- A -

A, a

- F -

from (point) A to (point) B

- a -

an A for effort

- e -

exhibit A

- F -

from A to Z

- A -

A

A

a

a-

A1

AA

aa

AAA

Aadhaar

aah

aardvark

aardwolf

What I want: have all under A or no letter-headings at all—just a continuous list of entries/headwords.

Is there a setting in Configure Dictionary (FLEx) or in Pathway to disable/suppress letter-headings entirely?

If not, is there a recommended way to do this on export—e.g., a Pathway stylesheet or a Word step (removing paragraphs with a specific style like “Letter Heading” / “Dictionary-HeadLetter”)?

Given that many of my headwords begin with symbols/letters due to the import, is there a best-practice to avoid these headings without changing my entry structure?

Environment (for context):

- FLEx version: Flex 9.3.3

- Export route: Dictionsry, Reversal Index Ms Word (.docx)

- OS: Windows

Thanks in advance for any pointers or step-by-step guidance!

Best,

Emmanuel
