Working with Text 149
When the table of contents is created, PagePlus formats it using built-in
Text styles (p. 120) intended specifically for table of contents preparation:
"Contents-Title" and "Contents-1st" through "Contents-6th". You can easily
change the look of your table of contents by changing the style definitions for
these built-in "Contents" styles.
Creating an index
An index is a valuable reader aid in a longer document such as a report or
manual. The Index Wizard helps you create an index with main entries and
subentries, based on index entry marks you insert in frame, table, or artistic
text.
To mark index entries:
1. Select a portion of text or click for an insertion point before the first
word you want to mark and then choose Edit Story from the Edit
menu. The WritePlus window opens.
2. Click the
Mark Index button on the Story toolbar.
3. Use the Mark Index Entry dialog to edit index entry marks in the
Main entry or Subentry box.
If you selected a word or phrase in the story, it appears as the Main
entry in the dialog. You can use the entry as it is, or type new text for
the main entry and Sub-entry (if any). You must include a main entry
for each sub-entry. The dialog's scrolling list records entries and sub-
entries alphabetically.
Index entry marks are invisible on the PagePlus screen and can
only be added or edited in WritePlus.
• To reuse an index entry, click it in the scrolling list.
• For a standard index entry, leave the Current page box enabled.
• To insert a cross-reference with the term(s) preceded by "See:",
enable Cross-reference (to include a word other than "See,"
simply replace it in the box).
