The punctuation preceding cross-references is specified in the Before Cross-
References field of the Index Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit >
Preferences > Index). If you want punctuation following a cross-reference, enter
it after the cross-reference text you entered in the Index palette.
Editing an index entry
You can select an index entry and edit the information in the Text or Sort As
fields. You can also select a cross-reference or page number reference and edit
the information in the Style or Scope drop-down menus. You can also change
an entry’s level.
Select an entry or reference in the Entries list. (To see the references, expand 1
an entry.)
Click the Edit button on the Index palette, double-click the entry, or select 2
the entry and choose Edit from the context menu.
While you are in edit mode, the Edit button displays reversed.
Make any changes to the selected entry or reference. You can also select 3
and edit other entries and references.
Click the Edit button again to exit the edit mode. 4
Deleting an index entry
To delete an index entry and remove its index markers from the text:
Select an entry or reference in the Entries list. (To see the references, expand 1
an entry.)
Display the context menu and choose Delete or click the Delete button on 2
the Index palette.
Specifying the punctuation used in an index
The Index Preferences dialog box lets you specify the punctuation that is
automatically inserted when you build an index.
Choose QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Index. 1
Enter index punctuation, including any surrounding spaces, and cross-2
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.
