INSERT INDEX
 
Procedures: <Indexing>
 
Use the Insert Index command to compile an index
from coded entries. Word alphabetizes the
entries, combines duplicate entries, and assigns
page numbers to the entries.
 
■ Designate and mark index entries in a document
  before you compile it. An index entry consists
  of an index code (.i.), text, and endmark.
 
■ When the document is final, compile the index
  and add formatting.
 
■ To change the default index format, change the
  options in the Index dialog box before you
  compile, or use regular formatting procedures
  after you compile the index.
