SUMMARYIn Microsoft Word for Windows, if you compile an index in several parts (such as an index including a range of letters), Word inserts a paragraph return between each of the separate parts. This occurs whether or not you separate each of the index fields with a paragraph return. Removing this paragraph mark deletes the entire index reference. MORE INFORMATIONThe "Microsoft Word for Windows User's Guide" recommends breaking up an index that includes more than 4,000 entries into several parts. This allows the updating of each part to be done one field at a time and the computer's memory to be reused to update the next field. For example, a complete index can be compiled from the following inserted fields: {index \p a-f}Note: To insert the field braces, press CTRL+F9. These fields compile an entire index, with paragraph returns automatically inserted between the result of each separate index field. In the above example, a paragraph return is inserted between the f and g entries of the index and between the r and s entries of the index. Note: Even if the fields are entered in the same paragraph (no paragraph returns between fields), the index is still compiled with paragraph returns between the individual parts. Steps to Reproduce Problem
[ENTER]where [ENTER] refers to pressing the ENTER key prior to each index field entry. The results are exactly the same as described in step 9 above; however, you can delete the paragraph marks to make the index range entries contiguous. Be aware that updating again generates a new set of index references that include the permanent paragraph marks.
