Figure 334: Entries page for creating an alphabetical index
To begin, click a number in the Level column to select the index level
whose elements you want to format. (You will be able to apply your
changes to all index levels later.) The Structure line displays the
elements for entries in that level. Each button on the Structure line
represents one element:
• The E button represents the entry text.
• The T button represents a tab stop.
• The # button represents the page number.
• The CI button represents chapter information. This may not be
displayed immediately, but can be added.
Each white field on the Structure line represents a blank space. You
can add custom text if you desire.
Adding elements
To add an element to the Structure line:
1) Place the cursor in the white field to the left of where you want to
insert the element.
2) Click one of the buttons below the Structure line. (For example, to
add a tab stop, click the Tab stop button.) A button representing
the new element appears on the Structure line.
