Dian- Ok, instead of four separate volumes (each volume a file), if I make this 30 chapters, each chapter its own document with sub-chapter and sections, can I effectively make an index of everyone? I.e., ANDERSON __Aron.........312 __Byron.......119 __Will..........32 CARNEAL __Carolyn......95 __Robert.......51 {{{and so on}}} At this point, I am not sure such an index will include everyone in all the separate chapter files. Last I counted, I have 3,791 individuals, and the married females are listed twice, once under their maiden name, and again under their married name. This means if a female marries seven times, she will be listed under her maiden name, and again each of her seven married names. I worked hard to make sure the index behaves like that. Will splitting it up hurt that? Thank you.
