It is an 147 page index of book on pediatric diagnostic tests. I have to update page references Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:45:12 GMT James Lamb http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/indexersdiscussionlist/message/13954 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/indexersdiscussionlist/message/13954 I did an HR book a while ago and there was a worthwhile distinction.

If you have worked on indexing a catalogue, I would appreciate some advice on what to charge and what kind of time frame it might take. Please email me Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:43:36 GMT Joel S.

I do need to separate out mothers and fathers from maternal and paternal, but parental is a third group.

I see no reason for separating but can't think of the best way to combine/xref. Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:55:02 GMT Joel S.
