Enter index punctuation, including any surrounding spaces, and cross-reference style sheet
in the Separation Characters fields.
• Following Entry specifies the punctuation immediately following each entry in an index
(usually a colon). For example, "QuarkXPress: xii, 16–17, 19" uses a colon and a space after
the index entry "QuarkXPress."
When a cross-reference immediately follows an index entry, the Before Cross-Reference
characters are used rather than the Following Entry characters.
• Between Page #s specifies the words or punctuation used to separate a list of page numbers
(usually a comma or semicolon). For example, "QuarkXPress: xii, 16–17, 19" uses a comma
and a space between page numbers.
• Between Page Range specifies the words or punctuation used to indicate a range of pages
(usually an en dash or the word "to" with a space on either side, like this: " to "). For
example, "QuarkXPress: xii, 16–17, 19" uses an en dash between a range of pages.
• Before Cross-Reference specifies the words or punctuation used before a cross-reference
(usually a period, semicolon, or space). For example, "QuarkXPress: xii, 16–17, 19. See also
Page Layout" uses a period and a space before the cross-reference.
• Cross-Ref style specifies the style sheet to be used for a cross-reference. This style sheet is
applied only to "See," "See also," and "See herein."
• Between Entries specifies the words or punctuation used between entry levels in a run-in
index (usually a semicolon or period). A run-in index lists the entries and sub-entries of
an index entry in a paragraph rather than with nested tabs. For example, "QuarkXPress:
xii, 16–17, 19; Printing from: 62–64; Typesetting in: 32, 34" uses a semicolon between
entries.
In a nested index, the Between Entries characters are used as the ending punctuation for
each paragraph.

Click OK.
The completed index consists of formatted text, not of dynamic links to indexed text. If
you continue to edit text or the Entries list, you need to rebuild the index.
You can enter up to 72 characters in any of the Separation Characters fields. You can also
use certain "XPress Tags" in the Separation Characters fields. For example, if you enter \t
in the Following Entry field, when you build your index, a default tab will automatically
be inserted after your entry.
Building an index
Use the Build Index dialog box to create an index from the contents of the Index palette.
