Mike -- I will probably be offering my 2-day indexing skills workshop in the
wonderful state of N.C. sometime in the next year, and I'll let you know as
soon as dates are set for it. (BTW, I lived in NC for 15 years and loved it.)
I'm willing to send you a copy of the paper I wrote for the Region 7 STC
Conference Proceedings, where I'll be presenting a condensed version of my
workshop; and I'll look forward to receiving a copy of your thesis next May.
Please send any questions you may have to my CompuServe email address; the
one I'm using now is for the contract assignment I'm currently on. Here's
my address on Compuserve:

Also, here's my "snail mail" address:

BTW, have you looked at indexing software? I use CINDEX. Several other
freelance indexers I know use Macrex and In>Sort. And some do it the hard
way, using the ol' index-cards-in-a-shoebox method!
