4
To add headings to each alphabetical section in the index, check Add Letter Headings
and choose a style sheet from the drop-down menu.
5
Choose a Master Page for the index (only master pages with automatic text boxes are
listed). QuarkXPress automatically adds the necessary pages to the end of the document
to contain the index. If you specify a facing-page master page, a right-facing page is
added first.
6
Choose style sheets for each level of the index from the Level Styles drop-down menus.
If you clicked Run-in for the Format, only the First Level drop-down menu is available
(because all the levels are flowed into the same paragraph).
7
Click OK to close the Build Index dialog box and create the index.
If you need to compare two versions of an index, uncheck Replace Existing Index in
the Build Index dialog box (Utilities menu).
Editing final indexes
After you build an index, you need to look it over closely. Check that the index is
thorough, the cross-references are appropriate, and the levels are logical. See if you
like the punctuation and formatting. It is unlikely that you will be absolutely happy
with the first index you build. You can solve some issues by editing and rebuilding
the index, while other issues will require local formatting of the index text.
Nonprinting text in an index
If the text marked in brackets will not print because it is on the pasteboard, obscured
by another item, or overflowing its box, then a dagger character † (Mac OS X) or the
characters "PB" with a space after the B (Windows) displays next to the entry in the
index instead of a page number.
Mac OS X only: To search for the dagger character, enter Option+T in the Find what
field of the Find/Change dialog box (Edit menu), and then see if you can solve the
problem in the document or simply remove the daggers from the built index.
Windows only: To search for the "PB "characters, enter them (including the space) in
the Find what field of the Find/Change dialog box (Edit menu), and then see if you
can solve the problem in the document or simply remove the characters from the built
index.
Editing and rebuilding the index
To solve issues with the punctuation, the index entries, or the organization of the
index, go back to the Index palette, the Index Preferences dialog box
(QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Index), or the Build Index dialog box (Utilities
menu). Make the necessary changes, and rebuild the index.
Updating the index
If you edit an indexed document after you build the index, you should build the index
again. Because QuarkXPress will not update the index text automatically, you should
build your final index only when you are fairly certain the document is final.
