I'm using MSWord 2001.
I'm trying delete existing index marks in a particular document, of which there are hundreds. There does not appear to be a facility in the insert/index and tables dialog to facilitate this. Updating index marks via a concordance table (automarking) is appending new index marks to existing index marks at the location - it does not do a total refresh. Using edit/find&replace also does not appear to facilitate location of index marks. I think I have tried all options at this dialog, and in combination with changes made at the tools/options/view/edit or show levels. The index marks themselves are non-printing characters obviously, and using the show/hide button displays the index marks (which are not hidden at the font level), but they do not appear in the special [system ^ characters] drop-down list in the edit/find dialog. Anyone any ideas on how I can go about doing a total refresh of my index marks directly (using a table), or a total delete of existing marks, maybe via some new functionality in later versions of word or by pointing out something I haven't yet tried with my existing ver? Thanks Ray. |

Use the following code in a macro
Dim AIM As Field For Each AIM In ActiveDocument.Fields If AIM.Type = wdFieldIndexEntry Then AIM.Delete End If Next -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Display Hidden text. Then use Find and Replace to search for ^19 XE and
replace with nothing. This will remove *all* index entries fields. -- Suzanne S.
