WD: Accented Words Aren't Sorted Correctly in IndexLast reviewed: February 5, 1998Article ID: Q141006 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIf your document contains index entries that begin with accented characters (for example, "a" with accent grave), Word incorrectly sorts your index if you include index headings. For example, if the following words are each marked with an index entry field (XE)
Actor A'rbor Augustthe resulting index will look similar to this:
-A- Actor -A- A'rbor -A- August WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, choose an index style that does not contain a heading. Unlink the index (press CTRL+SHIFT+F9 in Windows or press COMMAND+SHIFT+F9 on the Macintosh) and manually insert the headings. The drawback to this is that you cannot relink the field. If you need to update the index, you will need to reinsert the index field and repeat this procedure.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Word for Windows 95, version 7.0, and Word 98 Macintosh Edition.
