If you select the See [also] option in the Type pop-up menu, either "See" or "See also" will
appear in the generated index, depending on whether the entry includes any subentries
or page references. For example, if you create a See [also] cross-reference for fauna that
refers to animals, "See also" appears if fauna includes subentries (such as fauna: cats) or a
page-reference entry (such as fauna 15); and "See" will appear if fauna includes no suben-
tries or page-reference entries (such as fauna). Note that regardless of the context, "See
[also]"—not "see" or "see also"—will appear in the Index palette,

Editing index entries
Use the Index palette to edit entries before or after you generate an index. If you make
changes to the index itself, these changes will be lost when you regenerate the index.
References appear in the Index palette. The list is alphabetized and divided into sections
by letter. Triangles appear next to references. You can click these triangles to expand or
condense index entries.
You can edit either topic entries or page-reference entries. If you select an entry or
subentry, you can change the name and sort order of the topic levels. If you select a page-
reference entry, you can make additional changes to the entry, such as selecting a new
cross-reference.

A. Entry B. Subentry C. Page reference
For example, if you indexed "cat" several times, but need to change all entries to "cats," you
can edit the "cat" topic entry—all subordinate page references are affected. However, if
you edit a page reference to change "cat" to "cats," only one entry is affected.
To expand or collapse index entries in the Index palette:
Click a triangle to expand or collapse an individual entry. Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or
Command (Mac OS), and click a triangle to expand or collapse all subentries for that entry.
