AlexBR1974 1 Posted February 7 Hi! Is there a tutorial with all the steps on how to create an index in a Publisher file? I found the Text > Index option, but it's not clear to me how to add it to the book. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walt.farrell 793 Posted February 7 It's basically a two phase process: Locate the terms in your text that you want to index. Position the text cursor Immediately after a term, and use the Menu Text > Index > Insert Index Mark (or default shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+[ on Windows). You get to choose the term that will display in the index, and for sub-entries in the index you get to choose a parent entry. When you've inserted some index marks, you can move on to step 2. Draw a Text Frame where you want the actual index, put the text cursor inside it, and use Menu Text > Index > Insert Index. Note that there is also an Index studio panel, which you activate via Menu View > Studio > Index, which lets you adjust the index in some ways. It also includes icons for inserting index marks, and some other functions. And you may find the Menu option Text > Index > View Index Marks useful. Also, from the Index panel, you can right-click on an index topic and get some useful functions, among them the ability to find that term elsewhere in the document and index those other occurrences. There is information in the Publisher Help about the Index Panel, too. There is no tutorial yet, as far as I know. 1 AlexBR1974 reacted to this -- Walt Windows 10 Home, version 1809, 16GB memory, Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.00Gz Affinity Photo 1.6.5.123 and 1.7.0.243 Beta Affinity Designer 1.6..5.123 and 1.7.0.243 Beta Affinity Publisher 1.7.0.249 Beta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

afdojo 1 Posted February 11 Hey Walt, Wow, thanks! This is really clear and helpful. The AP help for Index and Index Panel made no sense and I couldn't find a tutorial either. After reading your short "tutorial", I had my index up and running in about 10 minutes. Best, Doug 1 walt.farrell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
