The default character is a blank space. Similarly, if you use the \L switch with the INDEX field to specify a page number separator, Word imposes a limit of five characters. The default character is a blank space. If you specify more than five characters to use with either switch, Word will use only the first five. In the following example, periods are used to separate the index from the page number, and a semicolon separates the page numbers: {index \E "..." \L ";"} Additional query words: seperater word97 ====================================================================== Keywords : kbdta kbfield word97 Technology : kbWordSearch kbWord97 kbWord97Search kbZNotKeyword2 Version : WINDOWS:97 Issue type : kbinfo ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
