13 Type Mismatch notice

[in...@lookwithinindexing.com]

Hi, Everybody.

When I went to "print" (just generate it in Word to save it) my index thus far, I got the notice "13-Type mismatch" and only 3/4 of one page was generated of the four that it should have produced. I tried a couple more times and then it shut down. I opened it again, with the same results. But it did generate the whole document—with the title, "Compatibility mode." I don't know why it decided to cooperate after all. 

Anyone know what's going on and how to make it stop? I'm halfway through my first pass of the book and broke out in a sweat over this. I'd rather not spend the next two weeks stressed b/c I mistrust my software.

If it helps, there are Slavic names with diacritics. I've sometimes wondered if parentheses in inconsistent italics are the culprit. 

At the ASI conference this past spring, I asked Kamm about this particular notice. He had no idea what it is. I'm posting this in case someone does. I've asked on this forum before, but haven't learned the answer. I'm hoping that someone has come across what triggers it since I last asked. In the past when it's happened, it didn't refuse to "print" the document in Word.

Thank you,

Mary

Hi Mary,

I'm never going to claim that this mismatch notice is an old friend, but I still see it from time to time. It usually doesn't interfere as much as it's done for you. Bummer!

I suggest you move any and all generated indexes for this client temporarily to a folder within the folder you generally keep it in.

Then reboot (since you didn't say you'd done that).

Then try it again.

This is what I'd do to 'clean out the cobwebs' (so to speak).

Hopefully you'll have smooth sailing after that.

Let us know --

Deborah

I had a 13-Type mismatch last week, and I panicked, checking the manual for what to do. When I didn't find anything, I exited SKY and shut down my computer. When I restarted, there were no problems, and I was able to finish the index with no problems.

Hopefully your problem will also just go away!

Hi Mary,

Just curious. Did you also try Index > Generate without opening your Word?

Then go to your File Explorer and open the rtf there.

It would be interesting to see if the notice would also come up or if it
also just generated 3/4 of one page.

Jochen

Thank you, Deborah, Wendy, and Jochen.

So far, I've gotten the same results as Wendy. Relief!

If it happens again, I'll see what happens when I try Deborah's and Jochen's suggestions.

All the best,

Mary

I get this message on a pretty much daily basis in Sky 8. I never ask Sky to open Word, I just let it generate and open in Word separately. I haven't stopped to check if the index has generated, but if I go again it does and seems OK. I assumed it was Sky getting tangled with something Windows was doing in the background.

Still underwhelmed by Sky 8 - randomly not copying diacritics, some of the easy ones, in another text, they'll go into Sky 7 ok, and Notepad from whence I can copy into Sky 8. I assume it is something to do with the way the pdf was made. It's not all it was cracked up to be.
