Create see and see also references in an index?
How can I create see and see also references in an index? I have a 200+ page
document for which I have created an index using a concordance. Sometimes there is more than one name or phrase which readers might use to look up material in the document; I would like to direct readers from all the other terms to a single, standard one. For example, "Snookims," "Baby-cakes," "Sweetie-Pie," and "Goodwoman, Hermione" might all be names readers would look for in the index, and I would like to have an entry in the index for each of the nicknames which would send readers to the standard entry. At "Snookims" in the index, a reader would find, "See Goodwoman, Hermione." Slightly different, but also useful, is the see also reference. There might be good reasons to include both "Snookims" and "Goodwoman, Hermione" in the index with references; perhaps under "Snookims" there would be references to material explaining specifically how that nickname came about. The index would have an entry under "Snookims" with pages references as well as "See also Goodwoman, Hermione." How do I create these kinds of entries in my index? |

In the Mark Index Entry dialog, there is provision for doing just this. Or,
if you're creating XE fields manually, you can add a \t switch: see Word's Help topic "Field codes: XE (Index Entry) field." -- Suzanne S.
