The purpose of this group, launched in October 1998, is to act as a forum for discussion on all issues related to indexing with MACREX, and to air and share tricks, tips and problems - and solutions to these problems. The group is open to MACREX users world-wide. The list has more than 200 members from all over the English-speaking world and some from Scandinavia.
The MACREX list does not cover general indexing matters. If you have a general query or comment about indexing, the appropriate forum at present is the international indexers' discussion group, Index-L.
