Office 2007 - Word

Lesson 48 : Index

48/57 Lessons 

Add Index

We usually find the index of a document at the end.
To create an index, we must first select the words that we want in our index.
So first select a word in your document that you want in your index, and then click the button “Mark Entry” under the tab “References” in the ribbon.

This opens the dialog “Mark Index Entry”:
In the top textbox our word is already entered.

Click the button “Mark all”.
This will mark all of the words in our “Office Button” index.

Automatically, all formatting marks are in our document.

 

Do not panic, that’s normal.

Repeat this for each word you want in the index.
Place the cursor at the bottom of your document at the place where you want to insert the index.
And click the button “Insert Index” in the tab “References” in the ribbon.
This opens the dialog “Index”:
Again we find a number of options for the layout of our index.
I’m not going through all, because I think this is clear.

Click the OK button when you’re done.

Awesome!
