Add a cross-reference in an index
Cross-references are index entries that point to related entries, instead of a page number. You create cross-references
using the Index panel. Cross-references can serve different purposes in an index:
•
Cross-references associate common terms with equivalents used in your document or book. For example, Fauna.
See Animals. Entries with such cross-references do not contain page references; they simply point to equivalent
terms that are indexed more fully.
•
Cross-references point to other entries related to, but not equivalent to, a topic. For example, Cats. See also
Wildcats. In this case, the index entry containing the cross-reference also contains page numbers and/or suben-
tries that are directly related to the entry’s topic.
Two types of cross-references
A. Cross-reference to related information (See also) B. Cross-reference to an equivalent term (See)
When you create a cross-reference in InDesign, you can also select a cross-reference prefix. “See” and “See also” are
static text. When you choose “See [also],” InDesign automatically assigns the correct prefix to the cross-reference
each time the index is generated:
•
Entries with page numbers, subentries, or both are given “See also.”
•
Entries without page numbers or subentries are given “See.”
Using the “See [also]” option frees you from the task of manually updating cross-references as the contents of your
index entries change.
