Reply To: Changing the format of an Index

Hmmm… Thanks for your reply, David. Sadly, the tiny graphic is not an anchored object, simply an inline object. It is a small rectangle, inside which is the registration number of that individual. Do inline objects count as anchored objects or would they need to be specifically designated as anchored? I don’t know that I have the patience to go through the entire document looking for each one — there are hundreds of them and not all that many happen to fall at the end of lines.

It was interesting to go back to that 2008 post and to realise how far InDesign has come in the last five years. Imagine, many of us were only using CS2 back then! Does it even still work on current operating systems?

The sorting question has kinda become academic now in that, while waiting for a possible solution, I have been steadily working through the index one-at-a-time and making a manual conversion. The task is now done (yes, all 4,920 entries — I must be mad!) and I am now interested in any further suggestions simply to store the information “in my hatband” (as an earlier generation would have said) for future reference.
