Preferences — Application — Index

The Index pane enables you to customize the index marker color and punctuation for built indexes.

To change the color of the index markers, click the Index Marker Color button.

Use the Separation Characters settings to control how your built index is punctuated:

  • Enter characters in the Following Entry field to specify the punctuation that immediately follows each entry in an index.
  • Enter characters in the Between Page #s field to specify the words or punctuation that separate a list of page numbers in an index.
  • Enter characters in the Between Page Range field to specify the words or punctuation that separate a range of pages in an index.
  • Enter characters in the Before Cross-Reference field to specify the words or punctuation that precede a cross-reference (usually a period, semicolon, or space).
  • Use the Cross-Ref style drop-down list to select a character style sheet to apply to your cross-references. This style sheet is applied only to “See,” “See also,” or “See herein,” not to the entry or the reference.
  • Enter characters in the Between Entries field to specify the words or punctuation inserted between entries in a run-in index or at the end of a paragraph in a nested index.
