Other types of indexes
An alphabetical index is not the only type of index that you can build
with Writer. Other types of indexes supplied with Writer include those
for illustrations, tables, and objects, and you can even create a user-
defined index. For example, you might want an index containing only
the scientific names of species mentioned in the text, and a separate
index containing only the common names of species.
To create other indexes:
1) Place the cursor where you want the index created.
2) Select Insert > Indexes and tables > Indexes and tables from
the menu bar.
3) On the Insert Index/Table dialog box (Figure 343), in the Type
dropdown list, select the index wanted.
4) Modify the various pages, which are very similar to those
discussed in previous sections.
5) Select OK when everything has been set.
