MS Word 16+ VBA Index - Insert TABS

Question

Creating an index to break out acronyms - am trying to get

TLA [tab] Three Letter Acronym.......5

acronym, tab, expanded version Page(s) for index.

But it won't let me add a tab. Updated the Index1 Style but still nothing.

Answer 1

I can use Subcategories to help sort it out - SYNTAX MUST BE EXACT included spaces that tend to creep in... { XE "tBXP" } for the definition and { XE "tBXP:Template BIM-Execution Plan" } for the sub entry so the def shows under the sorted index

Unfortunately doesn't answer why I can't do this in the text in the entry!
