Sort By When you’re creating or editing an index entry, typing Chinese characters in the Topic Levels fields enables
you to edit Chinese sort information.
For Pinyin, if multiple words have the same Pinyin, the order is sorted by (1) tone and (2) stroke count in ascending
order. For Stroke Count, each character is sorted by (1) stroke count, (2) first stroke, and (3) second stroke. You can
either edit the sort information directly in the Sort By field, or you can click the arrow to the right of the Sort By field
to open either the Pinyin Entry dialog box or Stroke Count Entry dialog box. You can edit the fields and click OK.
Repeat this process for each topic level.
Manage an index
After you set up your index and add index markers to your document, you can manage your index in a variety of ways.
You can view all index topics in a book, remove topics from the Topic list that aren’t used in the Reference list, find
entries in either the Reference or Topics list, and remove index markers from the document.
View all index topics in a book
When the Book option is selected, the Index panel displays entries from the entire book, not just the current document.
1 Open the book file and all of the documents it contains.
2 Select Book at the top of the Index panel.
If others need to access documents in the book while the index is being created, you can create a master list of topics in
a separate document, and then import topics from the master list to each document in the book. Note that if the master
list changes, you will need to import topics to each document again.
When you are indexing a book with multiple documents, you can display the index topics for all the documents listed
by generating the book’s index, including all the documents. Then you don’t have to use Import Topics in the Index menu
to manually import the topics into each document.
Remove unused topics from the Topic list
Once you have created your index, you can delete topics that weren’t included in the index.
1 Choose Window > Type & Tables > Index to display the Index panel.
2 Choose Remove Unused Topics in the Index panel menu. All topics that do not have page numbers associated with
them are deleted.
Delete index markers
❖ Do either of the following:
• In the Index panel, select the entry or topic you want to delete. Click the Delete Selected Entry button .
Note: If the selected entry is the heading for multiple subheadings, all subheadings are also deleted.
• In the document window, select the index marker and press Backspace or Delete.
Note: To view index markers in the document window, choose Type > Show Hidden Characters.
Find an index entry in the Index panel
1 Choose Show Find Field in the Index panel menu.
2 In the Find box, type the name of the entry you want to locate, and then click the Up Arrow or Down Arrow.
