To create a quick page-reference index entry using default settings:
1 In the document window, select the words for the index entry.
2 Press Alt+Ctrl+u (Windows) or Option+Command+u (Mac OS). An index marker using
the default settings of the New Page Reference dialog box is added at the beginning of
the selection.
To create an index entry for a proper name:
1 In the document window, select the name for the index entry.
2 Press Ctrl+Shift+F8 (Windows) or Command+Shift+F8 (Mac OS). An index marker is
added at the beginning of the text selection, with the last selected word first, followed by
a comma and the remaining selected words. For example, if James Paul Carter is selected, it
will be indexed as Carter, James Paul.
If you do not want to index according to the last word in the selection, include one
or more nonbreaking spaces. For example, if you want to index James Paul Carter Jr.
by Carter instead of Jr., place a nonbreaking space between Carter and Jr. To insert a
nonbreaking space, choose Type > Insert White Space > Nonbreaking Space.
To create a new index entry based on an existing entry:
1 In the document window, click an insertion point, or select text where the index marker
will appear.
2 In the Index palette, select Reference, and scroll the preview area to the entry you want
to copy.
3 Do one of the following:
Drag an entry to the New button
•
the beginning of the selection.
Select an entry in the palette preview area, and then hold down Alt (Windows) or
•
Option (Mac OS) and click the New Entry button. The New Reference dialog box
appears, with information about the selected entry. Make any changes, and then click
Add or OK.
Creating multiple index entries using Add All
Using the Add All option is an effective way to index all occurrences of a specified term in
a document or a book. When you click Add All, InDesign creates index markers at every
occurrence of the words selected in the document—not the text specified in the dialog
box.
When searching for occurrences of the selected text, InDesign considers only whole
words. Searches are case-sensitive. For example, if cheetah is selected, cheetahs and
Cheetah will not be indexed.
Note: When you click Add All, InDesign creates index markers at each occurrence of the
text selected in the document, even if it's already been marked for the index.
To create multiple index entries using Add All:
1 In the document window, select the text you want to search for.
2 In the Index palette, select Reference.
3 To create index entries for any open documents in the book, select Book.
