But when I use that formula in my word list and try to make an index by applying this word list, no reference to Psalms gets highlighted in the text nor included in the index thus produced. What can be done, I wonder?Best,Takamitsu---------- Forwarded message ----------

Look in the “Repeat” submenu and you will see “1+”So your expression has to be:Ps [any digit][1+].[any digit][1+]I hope this is clear enough.bestPhilipOn 2015 Oct 22, at 14:40, takamitsu muraoka <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Dear friends,I have, after all, another question to put to you. The biggest of the five indices is that which lists all the places of the Bible which are mentioned in the document. For instance, Psalms chapter 5, verse 2 is referred to as "Ps 5.2." In order to make this index a list of the biblical books just mentioning their abbreviated titles wouldn't be enough. In order to have chapter and verse number included in the index, under the Find command I would use "any digit" as a wild card. Then with "Ps digit.digit" the reference to Ps 5.2 would be picked up for the index. But there is a snag; it so happens that the book of Psalms has 152 chapters or psalms and one psalm contains 172 verses. So I would need to write 9 formulas (3 x 3). Does anyone know to overcome this nuisance by writing something with only one symbol for chapter and also one symbol for verse, so Ps X.Y? The Bible has about 60 books!Best wishes,
