Document Properties

The Document tab contains properties that define how the Index object will insert an index into the Microsoft Word document. These properties define things like the title, layout information, and where to build the index from. Author-it can build a basic index for you automatically from every heading and cross reference in the document.

Document Index Title

Defines a title for the Index in the Word Document. This title has a style of "Heading 1" automatically applied in the published Word document.

Document Index Media

Sets a relationship to a Media object that defines the page setup and layout of the Index section. An Index always starts a new section, so you must select a Media object.

Document Index Right Align Page Numbers

Determines if the page numbers in the Index of the Word document are right aligned.

Document Index Type

Allows you to choose the type of index to create - Indented (usual) or Run-in (older type, not used these days).

Document Build Index From

Determines what entries Author-it will include in the index. You can choose one or more of:

• Index Entries - will include entries defined in the Index Contents.
• Topic Heading - will include an entry for each Document Topic Heading.
• Cross References - will include an entry for the referenced Topic, at the point from where it is referenced.
