Figure 336: Viewing and editing index entries
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. This chapter does not give examples of all the
possibilities.
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, 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.
Example: Creating an index of figures
Creating an index (list) of figures or tables is easy if the figure captions
were created Insert > Caption or manually using a number range
variable as described in Chapter 14 (Working with Fields).
1) On the Insert Index/Table dialog box, in the Type dropdown list,
choose Illustration Index. You can change the title of the index to
something else; we have used Table of Figures as our title.
