Hi all,
I'm deep in the middle of indexing my new book and found yet another
problem, and this one can't be worked around by setting
Tools-preferences-output-
latex-Tex_encoding to T1.
This time, when inserting see and seealso records, I'm forced to use ERT
for each of the curly braces or else part of the seealso text doesn't show
up and an erroneous page number is shown. This is a huge time sink.
As a workaround, is there a way I can have all my see and seealso entries
in an external file and import it? I seem to remember that can be done, and
hopefully it would work around this time sink.
Thanks

OK, I found it. You can put all see and seealso index records in a separate
file. For instance, I put it in ./seealso.inc. So ./seealso.inc has lots
records like this:
\index{Joneses|see{keeping up with the Joneses}}
Then, in the document preamble, I place the following line:
\input{./seealso.inc}
That does the trick, and I don't have to do any ERT maneuvers.
