Richard,

  So even if the word 'compliance' is not in the text I can pick a location
without marked text and enter it that way. Yes, now I can see that works.

Thanks,

Rich

6.6.1: These should all be entered as "compliance with!full bladder",
etc. The
exclamation point marks grouping levels.

Indexing concepts

2017-12-31 Thread Rich Shepard

  I've read the index sections in the User Guide and did not see how to add
a concept to the index. Here's a contrived example.

  A handbook for long distance truckers does not have a section on
'compliance' but the indexer knows that readers will look for 'compliance'
or 'complying' in the index. The index should have a main heading and
subentries something like this:
compliance with
full bladder
rest periods
speed limits
trip log
weigh stations
weight limits

  Each subentry has a reference indicator which is found in the text and can
be marked using Insert -> Index. How can the conceptual term be entered as a
header?
