Making References

Whether or not you have pre-defined index topics, you can start indexing by clicking the Reference button at the top of the Index palette, selecting a word or phrase in your document that you would like to be indexed, and choosing the New Page Reference command from the flyout menu or clicking the New icon at the bottom of the palette. This opens the Page Reference Options dialog box, which lets you specify a scope (index this page, index to the end of the document, or whatever) and create nested entries so that the selected reference appears beneath topics (see Figure 90-2). Items in the first topic appear before second level entries.

If you have already created topics or subtopics and wish to use these (instead of typing them each time), you can double-click on the topic at the bottom of the Page Reference Options dialog box.

As in QuarkXPress, you can indicate that the index should reference the specific location where your cursor was located when you added the reference, that the topic is located on a range of pages, or even that it should be a cross-reference (such as "

See also Cuddly beasts"). You can determine this from the Type pop-up menu when in the Page Reference Options dialog box.

Note that if you later want to change an index entry or page reference (such as the type of reference or the level in which it appears), you can double-click on it in the Index palette.
