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.
Page Range Type or select a special character to separate the first and last numbers in a page range (such as
Animals 38–43). The default is an en dash. Determine formatting for this character by switching or editing the Page
Number style.
Entry End Type or select a special character to appear at the end of entries. If Run-in is selected, the specified
character appears at the end of the last cross-reference. The default is no character.
Change the sort order of indexes
You can change the sort order of languages and symbols. This is especially useful for Greek, Cyrillic, and Asian
languages.
Changing the sort order affects the sort order in the Index panel and in the index stories that are generated after-
wards. For example, you can generate an index in German, change the sort order, and then generate a separate index
in Swedish — just make sure Replace Existing Index isn’t selected when you generate the index.
1 Choose Sort Options from the Index panel menu.
2 Make sure the items you want sorted are selected.
3 To change the order of a language or symbol, select it in the list, and then click the Up or Down buttons in the
lower right part of the list.
Items that are higher on the list are sorted before lower items. Any characters from languages that aren’t included in
the Sort Options dialog box are sorted under symbols. For example, if you have Greek text in your document but
don’t include Greek under Sort Options, any indexed Greek text will appear under Symbols.
Capitalize index entries
The Capitalize dialog box provides a global solution for editing the capitalization of index entries so that you don’t
have to edit entries one by one. For example, if you’ve indexed some of your entries as lowercase (cats) and others as
uppercase (Cats), these entries will be considered separate topics. You can fix this problem by capitalizing selected
entries.
1 In the preview area of the Index panel, select an entry.
2 Choose Capitalize in the Index panel menu.
3 Select whether you want to capitalize only the selected topic, the selected topic and all subtopics, all Level 1 topics,
or all topics, and then click OK.
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.
