[HATT] problem automatically marking index entries in Word 2000
Subject:[HATT] problem automatically marking index entries in Word 2000 From:Kathy Tempesta <KTempesta -at- teleworx -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 6 Sep 2001 16:17:00 -0400
Using a concordance file to autoMark the index entries in a Word 2000 document, I just realized that word fragments are getting marked along with whole words. I.e., I have the word "star" in my table and the words "start," "starting," and "restart" are also getting an index entry embedded within the word.
Is there a setting in Word that I can use to tell it to apply the indexing only to whole word matches? It's a 200 page doc so the thought of combing through it searching for every occurrence is a bit daunting.
Or is there an alternative to the autoMark function that might not have this behavior?
Thanks, I've been crawling through the archives of every list I can think of without finding any mention of this problem.
