Index formatting

[june_g]

I'm trying to make an index with Affinity Publisher 2.2.1 in Windows, and I have a question and a problem.

Problem: My 'See also' references don't seem to wrap onto a new line when they extend past the right margin (see screenshot, I've highlighted the problem).

Question: Is there a way to format the words 'See' and 'See also' in the index? I can see where to customize the text, but not the formatting. I usually italicize those words, but I can't see how to do that in Affinity.

Thanks so much for any help!

If you position the cursor in the word See or "See also" in the generated Index, and look in the Text Styles panel, you can see that those words use a Character Text Style named Index Cross-Reference Label. You can simply edit that Text Style. Note that you must generate the Index before you have access to the Index-related text styles.

It would help to put the cursor in that text, and then examine the Character panel. You might have it set to No Break, for example.

Amazing, @walt.farrell - you were exactly right on both counts. Thank you so much!
