To locate a particular line in the active list, enter a word from that line in the palette's
Find field. The list in the palette scrolls to the first appearance of that word in the list.
To jump to a particular paragraph, double-click it in the Lists palette. The window
scrolls to that paragraph's location in the layout.
Building lists
To create a TOC (or other type of list) in the layout, place the text insertion point
where you want the list to go, then click Build in the Lists palette. The list is built
automatically. The style sheets you selected for the list in the Format As drop-down
menu (New List dialog box) are applied automatically.
If the text in the document is on the pasteboard, then a dagger character (Mac OS X)
or the characters "PB " (Windows) displays next to the text in the built list instead of a
page number.
Updating lists
The Lists palette is not automatically updated as you work. When you make changes
to text, you must update the list to be sure it is current. Clicking the Update button
in the Lists palette scans the document for list items, and rebuilds a list in the Lists
palette.
To update a list that you have already flowed into a text box, select the box, click
Update to make sure the list is up-to-date, and then click Build. The application detects
that there is already a copy of the list in the layout and displays an alert asking if you
want to Insert a new copy of the list or Replace the existing version. To update the
existing list, click Replace.
Working with indexes
In QuarkXPress, indexing is accomplished by marking words in documents as first
level, second level, third level, or fourth level index entries. You can create
cross-references and choose whether index entries cover a word, a number of
paragraphs, a text selection, or all the text until the next occurrence of a specific style
sheet. When it is time to build the index, you specify a format (nested or run-in),
punctuation, a master page, and style sheets for the various levels. QuarkXPress then
creates and styles the index for you.
Software can automate the process of typing, formatting, and updating page numbers
in an index, but a person has to decide what goes into a meaningful, useful index.
Since the process cannot be fully automated, it may take extra time to create an index,
but when your readers are able to find the information they need, it will be time well
spent.
Specifying the index marker color
When you add a word to an index, QuarkXPress tags it with brackets or a box; these
are called index markers. Index markers are displayed in a document when the Index
palette is open (Windows > Index). You can customize the color of index markers
using the Index Preferences dialog box.
