------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 2 07:06:49 +0000 2008 ------- I selected a paragraph, turned it into an index entry, and created an index. I inserted a page break into the middle and recreated the index. What I hoped for is that the index would update itself so that what was on page 1 was now indexed as being on pages 1-2. But it cited only page 1. Passage-oriented is appropriate for indexing discussions or topics. Perhaps what you've written in a biography includes medical background, and what you've written about kidneys stretches from p. 32 to p. 35 even though you use the word "kidney" only once. Editing has to be accommodated. You may rethink your biography and add pages to the front. The index should automatically reflect that change when you create a new index from the existing entries. Thus, Writer 2.4 > Insert menu > Indexes and tables > Entry dialog should have a way to recognize the beginning and the end of a passage that should define an index entry. E.g., with page breaks as indicated, We [p. 2:] the people in order [p. 3:] to form a more [p. 4:] perfect union should support an index entry such as people ................ 1-4 as readily as it would support people .................. 2 (I don't know if indexers call it "passage-oriented"; maybe there's a term of art for the entry type.)
