Using the dreaded colon in marking a field
Hi,
Thanks to these forums, I've successfully marked all my bible references preparatory to indexing. However, my index has gone a bit haywire. It's best explained by looking at the field associated with a bible reference. Code: "MATTHEW:7:28;01007028028 What the customer wanted was: a heading for each book in the index. No problem, we've MATTHEW followed by a colon. Then he wanted the reference, i.e. 7:28. The problem is that it is being interpretted as a second heading, so I get a heading for each book, and a heading for each chapter. The part after the semicolon defines my sort sequence. Is there some way similar to the way backslashes are dealt with so that the colon is actually written as a colon rather than being interpretted as a subheading in the index. If not, I guess I'll need to convert the colon in the reference to a period. Many thanks for any thoughts, David. |

Without seeing whatever code you are using, I haven't a clue what you are talking about.

I already pointed you to a working solution in your other thread (https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...confusion.html). Much easier than reinventing the wheel...
