levels used in your index. Normally, the levels are distinguished by varying
indentations.
To build an index:
Choose Utilities > Build Index or display the context menu for the Index 1
palette and choose Build Index.
Click Nested or Run-in for the Format. If your index is organized with more 2
than two levels of information, you should create a nested index. If you
decide to create a run-in index, all levels of information for any entry will be
listed in the same paragraph with no hierarchy.
Check Replace Existing Index to overwrite the existing index. 3
To add headings to each alphabetical section in the index, check Add Letter 4
Headings and choose a style sheet from the drop-down menu.
Choose a Master Page for the index (only master pages with automatic text 5
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.
Choose style sheets for each level of the index from the Level Styles drop-6
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).
Click OK to close the Build Index dialog box and create the index. 7
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.
