I created a journal report and saved it to Microsoft Word.  I said yes to an Index and checked all the things I wanted in the index.  I did not get an index.  I see the manual says that it depends on the compatibility of TMG and other factors.   I am using TMG 9.05, Windows 7 Pro, Microsoft Word 2007.  Is there something I can do to get the index, or am I looking in the wrong place for it? Nancy

I believe everything is coded for an index, but now you go to the page where you want the index and select the Word option to build the index and specify the style etc. Jim iSent from my iPhone; iTypos, iApologize. > On Feb 17, 2019, at 10:48 AM, Nancy W. <wright4766@bellsouth.net> wrote: > > I created a journal report and saved it to Microsoft Word.

Nancy, From Help: NOTE: Some word processors receive the index codes from TMG, but do not structure the index in a visible form. If you have chosen to include an index in your report, but it doesn't appear to be there, you may have to generate the index in your word processor or select a different screen mode which shows the completed document. TMG only places the Word Processor's index codes in the document. It doesn't actually build the index. You have to do that in the Word Processor after you open the report. In Word 2007 go to the References ribbon, in the Index block. Position the cursor where you want the index to be and choose "insert index" on the ribbon. Terry Reigel

Something else to keep in mind if you do any editing to the report after the index is generated. The index itself will not change the page references until you tell it to. When all the edits are completed, go back to the Word ribbon, references, and select Update Index.

Thank you to all of you.  I knew there was something more to preparing the index but I didn't know what that was.  And special thanks to Nancy because after I sent the request for help I realized I have altered the journal report.  I expected to have to prepare the index by hand, but she tells me I can update it.

That's correct, Nancy. You can update it as often as you want. > -----Original Message----- > From: Nancy W. <wright4766@bellsouth.net> > Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2019 11:04 AM > To: The Master Genealogist Rootsweb Email List <tmg@rootsweb.com> > Subject: [TMG] Re: Journal report, Index > > Thank you to all of you.
