Reuse an Index

An Index object represents an index in both the printed and on-line documentation. The Index object contains a hierarchical outline list in which the Index Entry objects can be arranged to form the structure of the index. When published, the index can be based on all headings in the document, any cross-references, and any Index Entry objects that contain objects found in the Book being published.

We already have an ACME Index that we use in other user manuals.

To Add an Index Object

If your X5000 User Guide is not already open, locate it within the X5000 folder and open it.

1. Select the Common Content > Front & Back Matter folder. A list of objects contained within the folder is displayed.
2. From this list of objects, drag and drop the Standard Index object into the contents pane of the Book Editor.

   

3. Use the up and down arrows to move the Index so that it s the last object in the book.
4. Choose the Save Book button on the Book Contents toolbar to save these changes.
