To add an index, you must first mark all words and phrases that you would like included in your index. Then, you must decide if you want your index to be a standalone index, or to be a book index.
Perform these steps to mark index entries:
- Highlight a word you would like to be included in your index.
- Click on the Marker tab on the right-hand side of the screen. The Marker view looks like this:
- Make sure Index is listed as the Marker Type. Any word or phase that is highlighted will automatically appear in the Marker Text box. To add a marker to your word, click New Marker.
- The word that you included will now have a visible T attached to the actual text. The following is an example:

This is also called a standalone index. Follow these steps:
- Click on Special --> Standard Index... (If you are in book view, and Special is not a menu option, click anywhere on the text of your document to make the proper menu bar appear.)
- The following dialog box will appear:
- Click Yes.
- A new dialog box will appear. It will ask which type of marker you would like to include in your index. Index should already appear in the "Include Markers of Type:" list.
- Click Set.

- After opening your book file, or creating a new book, highlight the last chapter (or file) in your book.
- Click on Add --> Standard Index
- A dialog box will appear. It will ask which type of marker you would like to include in your index. Index should already appear in the "Include Markers of Type:" list.
- Click Add.
- A new dialog box will appear and will show more options. The default options are okay for now, so just hit Update.
- Your index will appear in your list of chapters (or files). If you would like to move your index to a different position in the list, simply drag and drop it.
