Nisus Indexing Macros Nisus Writer is a superb word processor with powerful capabilities, but... I have been bothered by the way that Nisus Writer generates indexes. It lists every single page on which a marked item occurs. This leads to the creation of indexes with entries such as: Dogs...1,2,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,30,31,32,100,101,102 I have written a macro to collapse such entries according to the method prescribed by the 13th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, section 8.67. For example, the entry above would be rendered: Dogs...1,2,7-15,30-32,100-102
