If you select the Topic option in the Index palette, you can create index topics that have no
page numbers associated with them. Unless you add corresponding page references,
these topics will not appear in the generated index. Topics are also added to the list when
you add index references.
Creating topics for an index
You can also import a list of index topics from another InDesign document.
To create a list of topics for an index:
1 Choose Window > Index to display the Index palette.
2 Select Topic.
3 Select Book to display all topics listed in the open documents of the book to which the
current document belongs.
4 Choose New Topic in the Index palette menu.
5 Type the topic name (for example, animals) in the first box. To create a subentry, type a
name (cats) in the second box. In this example, "cats" is indented under "animals." For
more detailed information, see
6 Click Add to add the topic, which will now appear in the New Topic dialog box as well as
the Index palette.
7 Click Done when you've finished.
To import topics from another InDesign document:
1 Choose Import Topics in the Index palette menu.
2 Select the document containing the index topics you want to import, and then click
Open. The topics will appear in Topic view.
To remove all unused topics:
Choose Remove Unused Topics in the Index palette menu. All topics that do not have page
numbers associated with them are deleted.
Working with markers
InDesign uses the location of the marker to produce an accurate bookmark or page
reference in table of contents, index, and exported PDF files. InDesign inserts a marker
in text for items such as index entries, XML tags, and hyperlink anchors.
