Nonprinting text in an index

If the text marked in brackets will not print because it is on the pasteboard, obscured by another item, or overflowing its box, then a dagger character † (Mac OS) or the characters “PB” with a space after the B (Windows) displays next to the entry in the index instead of a page number.

Mac OS only: To search for the dagger character, enter Option+T in the Find what field of the Find/Change dialog box (Edit menu), and then see if you can solve the problem in the document or simply remove the daggers from the built index.

Windows only: To search for the “PB “characters, enter them (including the space) in the Find what field of the Find/Change dialog box (Edit menu), and then see if you can solve the problem in the document or simply remove the characters from the built index.
