Is it free?
Some early testers have asked if Format-A-Dex is a free service. At this time it is. Obviously the more who use it, the more feedback I get and the more stable and robust it becomes. My first consideration is that it be used by non-profit societies, particularly those who support publishing for the genealogical and historical interests communities. If support for it gets overwhelming, or it appears to be used by too many for commercial purposes, I will re-visit this policy.
Announcing Format-A-Dex
Format-A-Dex is a set of tools and guides to simplify and streamline the process of indexing a journal, newsletter, society magazine or any other document that is fact-filled with names, places and events. Because it was designed by a writer/editor involved in genealogy, Format-A-Dex is focused on the needs of editors in genealogical and historical societies.
At the site there is an on-line index formatting tool, a name reverser tool, and a tutorial on how to extract items from an MS-Word document for "Type Less" indexing. There are examples as well as links to other relevant web sites. You will also find a link to this blog for updated information on this project.
