Long document features
• If the same characters are input in the Topic Level box, they are handled as separate index entries if a different yomi
is entered. For example if “Cat” is input as an index entry with a reading of “Neko” in katakana, and then input a
second time with a reading of “Neko” in hiragana, two index items for “Cat” will be generated. This feature can also
be used to classify the same term under separate index topics. For example, when entering the term “The Cats” in
an index, if “Cats” is input in the Yomi text box and two index entries are created without any input, the term “The
Cats” will be generated under the T and C index topics.
• For Korean sort order, you can specify Korean Consonant or Korean Consonant Plus Vowel.
Sort order of Chinese indexes
You determine the sort order of Chinese characters in two places -- in the Sort Options dialog box, and in the Sort By
field when you create or edit an index entry.
Sort Options dialog box Choosing Sort Options from the Index panel menu lets you change the sort order and specify
whether to use Pinyin or Stroke Count.
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.
