Phantom Index entries

[DaveB]

I have a relatively long document and despite having
removed all prior index entries, when I use my
concordence file and then regenerate the index, I get
dozens of index entries with no words - only page numbers.

I have gone through the document several times doing a
search and replace for "field code" but can not rid my
document of these entries. I am using Word2000 on a
computer running Windows XP.

------ I hate to answer my own questions, but by looking back much
further in history of this group, I found my answer. It involves that
fact that if you were tracking changes in the document, all those
Index Entries are still there. You must reveal the changes and accept
all the deletions and the problem goes away. Sorry for sending a
query without doing all my research first. It just goes to show you
that no problem is unique. I recommend to anyone reading this, keep
going back and eventually you will find someone who has encountered
and resolved the same problem.
