Here's the situation graphically:
[ ] [ ]
devoted,.....
devotee,...
etc., etc., etc.
Dhaulagiri,...
Dhilos,...
dhobi,...
Explanation:
What I want to be able to do is run a program (macro, utility,
whatever) which will go through several hundred pages of a painstakingly
compiled bilingual dictionary and pick out the first entry on the page in
a special headword font and deposit it in the upper left-hand corner, and
then pick out the last entry on the page in the same headword font and
deposit it in the upper right-hand corner, preferably in a slightly larger
size than in the headword. (Each page of the dictionary contains two
columns.) For obvious reasons, I would prefer NOT to have to carry out
this operation manually.
Can anyone offer any assistance/advice? BTW, my preferred computer is a
Macintosh.
