I don't know anything about "index entries", but it *is* possible to
make the little yellow "notes" display - at least, in Calc.
Select a cell that has a note, right click, and there is a "Show Note"
choice.
The note attached to that cell will now display all the time, it doesn't
depend on the mouse hover.
"Show Note" only operates on the cell(s) selected at the time. You can
selectively enable note display for specific cells, or you could select
(ctrl-a) the whole spreadsheet and enable all at once.
If you save the document and re-open it later, I don't know if the Notes
will still be displayed, I sort of half remember they do, but I haven't
tried it recently. But you can experiment with it, that's part of the
adventure. ;)

From looking at it briefly I think this is an analogous case to notes
between MSO and OOo. In MSO the notes show up on the screen (kind of a
handy feature especially in tracking changes) but they only appear as
yellow boxes in OOo. I think the same is true for index entries. You can
hold you cursor over the entry and wait a second and you will get
information about the entry but I don't think you can make it display on
screen by default.
I previously posted an RFE for this feature in Calc, and now I have
posted one for Writer at
<http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66759>. Vote if you
like it.

Hello,
In MS Word you can mark word(s) as index entries. If you view the
resulting text with hidden text displayed, you see these entries
roughly as follows :
My example{XE "example" }.
In OOo Writer the best I can do is display the text which has been
selected for an index entry as a field (gray background) or, in the
case of a Word doc opened in Writer, as a gray vertical bar which
indicates a field. Can Writer display the text of the index entries
"inline"?
Thanks for reading this far.:)
