Message text written by INTERNET:[email protected] >As for concordances, that may take a while for me to understand, but I'm saving the responses until the time may try to build one.< At times folks want more to their genealogy publishing that just what FO creates in a book. The problem is how to get other material in and still preserve an accurate index. Routing FO book output to an RTF file, causes the records to be marked in a fashion that WordPerfect / Word can recognize and then WordPerfect / Word actually creates the index. Some may even use a publisher type program for greater control over printed output, for example to accomplish two sided printing, by printing pp 1,3, 5 and then turning over and printing, 6, 4, 2. on the proper reverse sides of the paper. FO's newly added "journal" feature is an element in this kind of stuff. "concordances" as a word is probably more frequently encountered in indexing things like the Scriptures or Shakespeare. For example indexing the Shakespeare phrase "neither a borrower nor a lender be", the key words being Borrower and Lender. Computer text searching these days tends to lessen such indexing. Today one can enter the entire phrase in a <google> web search and determine the proper Shakespeare work and location of the phrase within the work. The computer makes one forget what used to be the only way pre computer, kind of like beating carpets pre vacuum cleaners. Paul Studly Cleveland/Chesterland, OH [email protected]
