Hi again,
I need my index to look like this:
index 4,6,8
and
index: overview 1; history of 5; etc 6;
I changed "leader" to two spaces in
"index>locators>general>leader" but now that has put two
spaces everywhere, including in the subs where there needs to be
one space before the locator.
I also need the cross references to look like this:
indexing 4,6,9; see also editing
I must not be in the right place to format this correctly?
Thanks
Siusan

Yipes! Well that could be a potential nightmare :( Sounds like this might be another one of those "Kamm doesn't like run-in so he hasn't made it easy to set up formatting for it."
Thanks for letting me know!

I confirmed with Siusan offlist that she figured out the cross-reference settings but is stuck on how to get SKY to insert two spaces as a locator leader after main headings, but only one space as a locator leader after subheadings. This issue has come up several times before on this discussion list. Deborah was the one who helped me figure out a work-around, which is done partly in SKY and partly in Word.
In SKY, set your locator leader [Index Options>Locators] to two spaces, and then index as usual. At the very end of the indexing process in SKY, you need to find and group all the subentries.
Find: * [an asterisk with no spaces]
Field: Sub1
Pattern Matching: yes
Group Results: yes
Once those entries are grouped, you’re going to insert a symbol at the end of each subheading. When I did this, I used an @ symbol, but it could be any symbol that is not already in your index.
Find: {*} [an asterisk inside curly braces]
Field: Sub1
Replace: {1}@
Pattern Matching: yes
You should now have an @ symbol at the end of every subheading. Generate your index in Word. Search for all instances of @ followed by two spaces, and replace them with a single space. That should do it. You may want to do another search to make sure there are no additional @ symbols left in the index.

I think it might only be one :D :D But obviously I can't say for sure!
