Specify the index entry being cross-referenced by entering text in the field or 5
clicking an existing entry in the list.
To see the cross-reference text in the Entries list along with the page number 
references, expand the entry.
When you build an index, cross-references immediately follow page number 
references. They are formatted with the character style sheet specified in the
Index Preferences dialog box (Edit > Preferences > Index). If you specify
Entry’s Style, the cross-reference will use the same style sheet as the entry it
follows. Using the Style drop-down menu (Index palette) to specify a
character style sheet for a cross-reference will override the style sheet you
specified in the Index Preferences dialog box. The text you enter in the
Cross-Reference field will have that style sheet applied; however, the style
sheet will not be applied to the “See,” “See also,” or “See herein” part of the
cross-reference.
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.
