ID: Q141214

  • Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1

SYMPTOMS

The index in a Word document shows a particular item but does not show all the page numbers on which the item appears.


CAUSE

This problem occurs when ALL the following are true:

  • An XE field appears on a certain page of the document (for example, page 2).


  • An identical XE field appears on the corresponding page of another chapter (for example, page 2 of another chapter).


  • No other identical XE fields appear between these.


  • Chapters are numbered with Heading Numbering.


  • The page number format is Include Chapter Numbers.


For example, if the word "Report" appears on pages 1-2, 2-2, and 3-4, the index will show the following:
Report, 1-2, 3-4
Word omits the reference to page 2-2.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the product listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Word 97.
