I am writing a book and want to use Publisher but need to creat an index. Is
this feature available?

I use Publisher 2003 - it says "see Publisher 2007".

Also, a more meaningful subject header is always in order.....

Publisher does support index, Word does. Long documents, such as a book is best
done in Word.

This web page was written by a Microsoft MVP, there is a good section on Index.

I think you left out a "NOT" there. Publisher does NOT support automatic
index creation; Word does.

I think you are right, Ed... Thanks for the correction. Early mornings are not
the best, especially since I had a hard drive failure. Not a good way to start
my day.

 

[Mary Sauer]

I've been really good about backing up all my files. We found an old picture CD
that crashed the hard drive. We tried everything to get it back, we are doing
the last resort, re-format. I'll keep in mind the Raid array. I have a brand new
laptop coming, be a good time to try it. I will search for the
instructions...Thanks for the tip.

Mary,

If your budget will allow and hardware will support it, consider setting up
your hard drive system in a Raid array. It uses two hard drives and
reads/writes to both at the same time thus making two copies of everything. If
one of the hard drives fails you get a warning of the failure and lets you
continue computing on one drive until you replace the failed drive and after
replacing the failed drive it goes back to dual hard drive system.

'Have Raid array; have had a failure and upon replacing the drive, back to
normal, automatically.

How did a picture CD crash the drive?

I just use an external drive for backups. I could (but haven't) automate the
backup process to be more frequent than my manual system. Every so often
I'll backup certain stuff to CD as well.

Yes thats the question I wanted to ask as well
How did a CD crash the Hard Drive??

 

[Mary Sauer]

We don't know how the CD caused the crash. It was being read, the blue screen
appeared and that was it. I know the CD was bad because it caused grief on this
computer as well. I assume since this is a much newer computer it could cope.
The CD was never read and now the disk resides in the trash. New hard drives are
cheap...
