Hi all. I have an entry for A. Featherstone Co. in my index, and if sorts on F. I'd like to have that sort at A, but I don't want to remove A from the ignore list (there are more entries where I want the initial article ignored). Is there a way to un-ignore something on the ignore list? 

Thank you,
Rudy Leon

There sure is. 
From the manual:
"If you have a particular entry that starts with a word in the Ignored Words list but it should not be ignored, you can enter the word twice – once as hidden text and directly following that again as ignored text. In many cases you could probably get away with not ignoring the second one. As an example if you did not want to ignore the word ‘The’ in the title The Wind and the Wuthering you could enter the title like this (text in curly braces is ignored text and text in square brackets is hidden text):
{The}[The] Wind and the Wuthering"

Hi Rudy,

In the Ignored Words list you could also simply select:

"Not in Main Heading"
