Index Markers in Document Not Being Recognized

[tpauly]

Hi

I've manually inserted index markers throughout my document.

When I inserted the index on a blank page at the end of my doc, nothing showed up.

There were index topics listed in the Index tab but they wouldn't register in the newly created index. I then right-clicked on the index item in the Index tab and selected Find in document... if I reselected the index term it would then show up in the index.

Is there a way to remove all index markers?

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Hi, were they index topics or index references? If you click the + icon you're creating a topic and there is no marker, so generating the index will result in a blank index.

You need to click the bookmark icon to the right of the + icon to insert a topic and reference at the same time. Alternatively, you can insert topics first and then position the text cursor and double-click the topic in the panel to insert a reference to it.

You can remove as many index topics and references at the same time as you want by Shift+clicking them in the panel and clicking the Delete icon. If you want to select everything, click the first one and then Shift+Click the last one.

Cheers

I set all of the markers using Comm-Opt-Shift-[. (I also double-checked by clicking on the topic in the list and doing Find in Document search.)

They just didn't show up when I inserted the index. They were all in the index list but I had to go back and manually add them. It was a small doc so not a big deal but now there are 2 flags at every reference. 

thanks for the feedback

I can't figure it out from the PDF but perhaps you could upload a test document with a page or two with the index marks in question. If not, Serif might provide you with a private link later so they can review the file.

Good luck
