Page Setup for the Word Index

You can set up the appearance of the word index on the Word Index tab. You can also reduce the number of words in the word index. Click the following link for instructions: Excluding Words from the Word Index.

Use the following procedure to set up the layout for the word index:

  1. Select File à Page Setup à Word Index from the menu bar. The Page Setup dialog box opens with the Page tab displayed.  

  2. Select the options as follows:

Margins

Settings: Click the Settings drop-down list to designate the type of margin. You can select a pre-determined setting, or select Custom to create your own margins.

Left, Right, Top, Bottom: Enter the size of the margins in inches (0.5 = ½ inch).  

Header and footer

Font and Size: Click the Font and Size drop-down lists to select the font and size for the headers and footers.

Print on each condensed page: Click this option to print a header and footer on each page of a condensed transcript.

Cover page

Print: Click this option to print the cover page.

Blank page after, if duplex: Click this option if you want the back side of the cover page to be blank when you duplex print. For example, if you select this check box, Page 1 of the transcript prints on the front of the next page, rather than the back of the cover page.

  1. Click the Border tab. Use this tab to designate how borders look on printed pages. The external border is the border around each page. The internal border is drawn between condensed pages and between word index columns.
