Lesson 57: Index

57/66 Lessons 

Adding an Index:

We usually find an index at the back of a document.
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 “Mark Entry” button under the “References” tab, in the ribbon.

This opens the “Mark Index Entry” dialog box:
In text box at the top, our word is already entered.

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

 

 

Automatically, you will see all formatting marks in your 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 the index to be inserted.
Then click the “Insert Index” button in the “References” tab on the ribbon.

This opens the “Index” dialog box.  Once again, we find a number of options for the layout of our index.
I’m not going to go through all of them because I think they are quite clear.


Click the OK button when you’re done.

Awesome!
