WINDOWS

Summary:

If you create a document in Microsoft Word for Windows, save it for use with another word-processing program by choosing Save As from the File menu, choosing the Options button, and selecting the appropriate file format, if the document contains an index, it may not convert correctly.

When you create an index entry, Word for Windows inserts a hidden reference in the document. The index itself is created by extracting the information from this hidden reference. If the converter cannot correctly determine which is hidden text and which is normal text in the document, the converted document may include additional characters that were previously hidden index information.

Also note that during a conversion, Word for Windows does not correctly read some index entries that contain mixed-character formatting.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
