Yes, you do and it isn't illogical. Picture this. You have a term on page 3 that you do want to index. However, it also appears 347 more times in the document that are incidental. Do you want 348 instances showing up in the index? In a case right now, I'm writing a document that uses the term "ISC Adapter". I want to index specific instances, maybe what appears on page 3, 7, and 45. However, it appears MANY more times (47 times). Do I want every instance indexed? Do I want a reader to have to look through 47 instances to find the three that are signigicant? What I want to do is, on page 3, enter ISC Adapter:Definition, on page 7, ISC Adapter:Compatability, and on page 45, ISC Adapter:Uninstalation. When I generate, I get: ISC Adapter Definition, 3 Compatability, 7 Uninstalation, 45 Only by addressing them individual do you have the opportunity to eter the appropriate subheading.
