Creating Concordances
Hello List Members! I've been working on a document that is going to need an index. I wish to create a concordance file for this purpose. I have found the documentation on creating an index, however, I need some help with this documentation found in the program's help files. I did a forums search and a wiki search and did not find the answers to my questions. The only posts I found that included concordance basically said to ignore the exact thing I am interested in. The stuff I need explained with examples (images would be nice) is this: Alternative entry refers to the index entry that you want to appear in the index. The 1st and 2nd Keys are parent index entries. The Search term or the Alternative entry appears as a subentry under the 1st and 2nd Keys. Thank you! CML
Re: Creating Concordances
Sorry can you give an example of what you want? It wasn't very clear, perhaps if you provide an example of the finished product (from other document) would be easier to suggest alternative.

The stuff I need explained with examples (images would be nice) is this: Alternative entry refers to the index entry that you want to appear in the index. This is the text that you want to appear in the index, as distinct from the text that you want to search for in the document. For example, you might want to search for occurrences of UK in the text but have these listed in the index against an entry reading United Kingdom. If you leave this empty, occurrences are listed under the actual text searched for. The 1st and 2nd Keys are parent index entries. The Search term or the Alternative entry appears as a subentry under the 1st and 2nd Keys. Indexes are not usually a simple list of entries, but have main entries forming headings for lists of sub-entries, with possibly further levels. You might want United Kingdom to appear in the index in a list of countries, in which case your 1st key would be Countries and this first key would also be used for Australia, Canada, etc. In a more comprehensive country list, you might want United Kingdom to be in a sub-list of European countries, in which case the 1st key of Countries and 2nd key of Europe would be used by United Kingdom as well as by France, Spain, and so on. You might also have 2nd keys of Americas and Australasia under the same Countries first key. I trust this helps.
