I'm an inexperienced LaTeX user creating a document with the book class. I've included a \printindex command in the \backmatter and the index appears in the customary two-column format.
The problem arises with topics having multiple entries, resulting in the line being too long for the column. This results in some left-hand entries overlapping into the right-hand column and some right-hand entries disappearing off the page,
Is there a way I can prevent this? I'd prefer to keep the two-column format if possible as it works well in most cases.
My index entries are of the form:
Code: Select all
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה

This particular entry doesn't cause problems because its only on one page, but similar entries that occur in several pages result in the line overrun.
Thank you.
