Creating cross-references
In addition to listing page numbers for index entries, you can also refer readers
to other topics. For example, in a reference to “Typography,” you might list “See
also Fonts.” To do this, you create cross-references. You can create a cross-
reference to an existing entry in the index, or you can add a new entry
specifically for the cross-reference. Use the Index palette (View > Show Index) to
create cross-references.
