@Oufti Yes, I was thinking what you are describing. More effort than I would like to put into it. @prophet Interesting approach. If the index created hyperlinks to the listing as well as the page number, I might try this. I would need to add the part numbers on top of the hidden page numbers to the right, for about 6 full page length columns. While more work than I would like, it will be easier to maintain if I put the effort in to exporting the index, reconfiguring columns and then adding part numbers, then pasting into separate tables on each page. Entries will not change much if at all. Thank you all for your input.

Thank you @Old Bruce. I have thought of the TOC option, but I do need this in alphabetical order.\ One thought for a workaround will contain the following steps: 1. Create the content using a TOC 2. Copy TOC contents to a spreadsheet (hope that's not too difficult) 3. Alphebetize by product name 4. Copy and paste page by page as individual tables (Publisher is unable to extend tables to next page as it can with text) 5. Add hyperlinks manually. This will take a lot of time and I'm hoping to automate as much as I can. I do not mind taking the time to set the document up properly if this can be done by Publisher.

Hello Forum! I am creating an index for a business catalog. Our existing catalog shows the page number first, then the product name and then the part number. Is there a way to have Publisher 2 create an index with the page number on the left side of the product? I would also like to have the part number appear to the right if possible. I have not come across anything discussing either of these features, but it would be useful for business catalogs. Has anyone set up an index like this? Without the ability to create this full index using the index tool, it will need to be created and hyperlinked manually. Thank you.

Hi @MikeTO, I have downloaded your manual. Thank you for creating it! I now see that that the page numbers do export with a hyperlink to the page. I can add hyperlinks to the text easily enough, it will just take some time. It would be nice if the hyperlink were also applied to the text/product for business catalog use. Thank you!

Hello Forum! I am working on a catalog in Publisher 2, and am about to set up the index. My initial test export does not include hyperlinks for the index entries. Is it possible to create an index that will export a PDF with hyperlinks? I have selected 'Digital PDF' and do not see any hyperlink options in the export settings/menu. Thank you.
