Creating an index
You can create a simple keyword index or a comprehensive, detailed guide to the infor-
mation in your book. InDesign lets you focus on the planning and structure while it
does the hard work—tracking index entries as pages change, even across several
documents. You can even edit index entries in the palette without having to hunt down
individual topics.
An index entry is composed of two parts: a topic and a reference. Usually the reference is
to a page number, but it can also be a cross-reference to another topic.
The Index palette displays index entries

document immediately accessible to your readers. Here are a few guidelines to consider:

want a more complex index?
