Williams' correct. In fact, when working on my BNC Index, I manually copied and pasted keywords from the COPAC libary catalogue system into the BNC Index spreadsheet (thus they are easily retrievable). Most BNC texts that were taken from published books therefore have library keywords associated with them. All that's needed is a licence for the BNC World Edition.
Hope this helps.
Dave.
