Each item in an index, whether it is one word or several, is called an entry. Each entry is assigned a level. Levels indicate the hierarchy of the entry, from first to fourth. First level entries are the most general, and fourth level entries are the most specific.

QuarkXPress lets you create four levels of index entries in a nested index and two levels of index entries in a run-in index.

• Creating a first-level index entry
• Creating a second-, third-, or fourth-level index entry
