Default Creating a new index for each chapter

Hello!

I am writing a manual, and I will divide it into several different
chapters. I want each chapter to start with a list of "Contents", i.e. an
index, but I want the information in the index to be limited to what is in
that specific chapter. When I create the index today, it will show all
previous chapters as well, and I only want the pages to be shown that are in
the current chapter.

It this possible to achieve?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Thomas Engstedt

It seems as if you are trying to create a table of contents for part
of a document. For instructions on how to do this, see the "A partial
table of contents" section in this article:

You'll find Help easier to use if you stick to the conventional terminology.
An index is the list of keywords and phrases, listed in alphabetical order.
The list at the start of the document (or at the start of a section) of
headings etc in order of occurence, is a Table of Contents.

To create a Table of Contents for one section, define a bookmark for the
section, then use the bookmark switch in the TOC field.
