To replace the entry separators (such as the values for Following Topic or Between Entries), select the existing
separator and then type or choose a replacement character.
Nested or Run-in
Select Nested if you want the index formatted in the default style, with subentries nested under an
entry as separate indented paragraphs. Select Run-in if you want all levels of an entry to appear in a single paragraph.
The Between Entries option determines which character separates the entries.
Include Index Section Headings
Select this option to generate section headings consisting of alphabet characters (A, B,
C, and so on) representing the section that follows.
Include Empty Index Sections
Select this option to generate section headings for all letters of the alphabet, even if the
index lacks any first-level entries that begin with a particular letter.
Level Style
For each index level, choose a paragraph style to be applied to each level of index entries. You can edit these
styles in the Paragraph Styles panel after you generate the index.
Section Heading
Select the paragraph style that determines the appearance of the section headings (A, B, C, and so on)
in the generated index.
Page Number

87.
Cross-reference

See also) in the generated index.
Cross-referenced Topic

as beasts in See also beasts) in the generated index.
Following Topic
Type or select a special character to separate the entry from the page number (such as Animals 38).
The default is two spaces. Determine formatting for this character by editing the corresponding Level Style, or by
selecting another.
Between Page Numbers
Type or select a special character to separate one page number or range from another. The
default is a comma followed by an en space.
Between Entries
If Run-in is selected, type or select a special character to determine how entries and subentries are
separated. If Nested is selected, this setting determines how two cross-references under a single entry are to be
separated.
Before Cross-reference
Type or select a special character that appears between a reference and a cross-reference, as in
Animals. See also beasts. The default is a period followed by a space. Determine formatting for this character by
switching or editing the corresponding level style.
