RE: [SKYIndexUsers] URGENT: semi-colons and spaces between subs (Sky 8) in Run-on style

[Avril Ehrlich]

Hello

 

I have done a few indented (run-on) indexes.

 

I will share my screen savers below just in case, as I also had to do some tweaking.

Subject: [SKYIndexUsers] URGENT: semi-colons and spaces between subs (Sky 8)

 

I'm supposed to turn this index into the client in one hour. It's about 3,400 records.

 

Run-in style. Some entries are very long. I have one super long entry in which some of the subs are running into each other, i.e. there's no semi-colon and space. Not even a space. Other subs in that same entry are OK. There are 450 records of them for me to go through manually! Some other entries have the same problem. I haven't checked yet whether it's only happening in the really big entries, but that shouldn't matter.

 

I closed the file and Sky and reopened. Still a problem. I closed everything and rebooted the computer. Same thing. I don't see anything in the hidden codes that should cause a problem.

 

Any ideas what's going on? Do I need to call in Kamm on this? 

 

I think I'll let the client know that the index is ready except for this problem. I don't think my eyes can proofread tonight. 

 

Merci schön.

Avril,

Do you mean run-in or indented? They’re opposites but your first sentence has them both. 

Kamm told me that for a run-in, you can’t have the xrefs from subs as the first or last sub. That’s the setting you have here — which is OK for an indented index (where each sub starts on a new line).

He asked for my file. We’ll see what happens.
