Working with indexes
In QuarkXPress, indexing is accomplished by marking words in documents as first level,
second level, third level, or fourth level index entries. You can create cross-references and
choose whether index entries cover a word, a number of paragraphs, a text selection, or
all the text until the next occurrence of a specific style sheet. When it is time to build the
index, you specify a format (nested or run-in), punctuation, a master page, and style sheets
for the various levels. QuarkXPress then creates and styles the index for you.
Software can automate the process of typing, formatting, and updating page numbers in
an index, but a person has to decide what goes into a meaningful, useful index. Since the
process cannot be fully automated, it may take extra time to create an index, but when
your readers are able to find the information they need, it will be time well spent.
Specifying the index marker color
When you add a word to an index, QuarkXPress tags it with brackets or a box; these are
called index markers. Index markers are displayed in a document when the Index palette
is open (View > Show Index). You can customize the color of index markers using the
Index Preferences dialog box.
1
Choose QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > Index.
2
Click the Index Marker Color button to display a color picker.
3
Use the sliders, arrows, fields, or color wheel to specify a color for the index markers.
4
Click OK to close the color picker; then click OK to close the Index Preferences dialog
box.
