Dear All,
I am working on a personal project.
I'm a caller of traditional American dances. (Allemande left, do si do,
swing your partner and all that sort of stuff). As a result, I have a
collection of - say three or four hundred dances - all written in an
abbreviated style on individual 4x6 inch cards. I've reached the conclusion
that the cards are too bulky and they get out of order and I have trouble
finding things when I want to find them, so I am transcribing them into a
book - about three dances per page. I am doing this in MS-Word 2000. This
will be a continuously expanding/changing collection.
I have a table of contents - no problem. I am basing it on the paragraph
style for each dance title and it's working out fine.
I would also like to have some additional cross-reference/indexes. For
example, I'd like to be able to "tag" certain dances and have them listed in
categories.
The categories could be: Good with Jigs, Easy for Newcomers, Features a
Particular Figure, etc., etc.
The goal would be to have an automatic index generated that would include
both the Name of the dance so-identified, and the page number. I am
imagining I might be able to use bookmarks to "tag" the dances to go in
various categories. I imagine than some dances could be listed in multiple
categories, too.
Does this sort of - index as it were - seem to be something that can be
done? If so, if you can point me in the right general direction, I'd be
very grateful.
Sincerely,
Ridge (whose personal e-mail signature says: "When you stumble, make it part
