WD97: Index Field \E or \L Switch Limited to Five Characters (62469)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q62469 SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word, if you use the INDEX field with the \E switch, there is
an upper limit of five contiguous characters that you can use to separate
the index from the page number. 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 ";"}
