Formatting an index
When you click More Options in the Generate Index dialog box, formatting options appear
that let you determine the style and appearance of the generated index. InDesign
includes a number of built-in paragraph and character styles that you can select to format
the generated index, or you can create and select your own styles. After you generate the
index, you can edit these styles in the Paragraph Styles and Character Styles palettes.

The following formatting options appear when you click More Options in the Generate
Index dialog box:
Nested/Run-in Select this option to determine whether the index is formatted in the
default Nested style, with subentries as separate indented paragraphs, or Run-in style,
with all levels of an entry appearing in a single paragraph. The Between Entries option
determines which characters separate the entries.
Include Index Section Headings Select this option to generate section headings
consisting of alphabet characters (A, B, C, and so on) representing the section that follows.
Include Empty Index Sections Select this option to generate section headings for all
letters of the alphabet, even if the index lacks any first-level entries that begin with a
particular letter.
Level Style For each index level, choose a paragraph style to be applied to each level of
index entries. You can edit these styles in the Paragraph Styles palette after you generate
the index.
Section Heading Select the paragraph style that determines the appearance of the
section headings (A, B, C, and so on) in the generated index.
Page Number Select the character style that determines the appearance of the page
numbers in the generated index. This setting does not affect index entries you formatted
using the Number Style Override option.
Note: If you want the page numbers in the index to include prefixes, as in B-1 or II-1, see
"Defining section numbering" on page
Cross-reference Select the character style that determines the appearance of cross-
reference text (such as See and See also) in the generated index.
Cross-referenced Topic Select the character style that determines the appearance of the
topic being referred to (such as beasts in See also beasts) in the generated index.
