John,

It might be useful if we knew which version of Word you are using. (and
maybe not.)

First, is what you describe, what you have AFTER printing? or is it what you
see on the screen? If on the monitor, what "view" are you looking at? Did
you look at it in "Print Preview"?

I have had no problems with Microsoft Word 2000. (or for that matter,
previous versions) However, I have not formatted any documents exactly as
you describe.

Subject: [TMG] OT(?) - reports in MS Word

I have produced a fairly large descendant journal report (~150 pages +
index) with an index to surnames with years of birth and death. I have
then exported this to MS Word and formatted the pages for recto-versa
printing, with space for binding on alternate sides of the pages.

Now, of course, my index is no longer good since things have changed pages.
Following Microsoft's (minimal) help, I select the index (all of it;
previous trials with only part didn't help a bit) and hit F9. Several
minutes later (400 MHz CPU), it starts telling me it's repaging the
document! It does and afterwards nothing is on the same page any
more. AND the index is _not_ good: It now points to where things actually
were before I hit F9 (and after my reformatting). In other words, the
index is now what I wanted, but the document is not. The short result is
that the index is still incorrect.

Am I banging my head against a brick wall or is there a way to make this
monster work? Or should I go purchase WordPerfect? Or give up and skip
the index?

Thanks in advance for words of wisdom. John
