Christian Periodical Index for Indexers: Home

Don't forget -- the next quarterly deadline for current indexing is November 1.

It was great to see so many during the ACL conference! In case you want to review what you heard (or see what you might have missed), recordings of the CPI sessions are available:

• Wednesday, June 9, 12:30 pm EDT -- CPI Indexers Meeting
• Thursday, June 10, 1:00 pm EDT -- Beginning Indexers Training
  • The training session builds upon two pre-recorded videos that introduce indexing:
    • Beginning Indexing for CPI--Part One, Getting Started
      Description: Learn how to get started with CPI indexing.
    • Beginning Indexing for CPI--Part Two, General Indexing Guidelines
      Description: Description of the indexing templates and content of fields.

Using a Mac with your text files? So that we don't have trouble with smart punctuation, please read:

1. In Textedit (The Mac text editor), choose the Textedit item from the top menu, then select preferences.
2. In the preferences screen, make sure that format is set to plain text. This should be the default.
3. Further down, there’s an options section with several checkboxes. Uncheck smart dashes and smart quotes. You may also want to uncheck text replacements and correct spelling automatically; those are up to you. Close the window, and the changes are saved and should stay the same across restarts of the text editor.

This info is from MacOS 10.11 but is probably the same or very similar in other versions.

Using a PC? Although Notepad works fine,if you want a few more features (like search and replace), try out Notepad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/).
