Dear BarbBinder,I am sorry I didn't make it clear. I have created a standard index into the book and the page number is included. but the format of the page number is not what I want. How can I change the page number format? To change the look of the page numbers after the index entries:Open the index file.View > Reference pagesNavigate to the IX reference page (often the last reference page)Click on the <$pagenum> building block (which controls the page numbers) and format the IndexIX ¶ tag to look the way you want. Update AllWhen you update your book, the reference pages changes will take effect.Note: you will want to format the Separators tag the same way. Click the first line and assign the same formatting. The separators control the spacing between the numbers, but also the commas and en dashes. Normally, you want the same typeface, size and style for those characters that you have selected for the page numbers.

1. I created a standard index,but don't know how to the page number. I don't have a index related reference page.

Add the page numbers to the master pages of the IX.fm file.

2. How to include the index in the table of content?

If your TOC is already set up, and you just want to add the IndexTitle, right click the TOC.fm file in the book window > Set up Table of Contents. Scroll through the list on the right, and double click the IndexTitle (or whatever you called the title of the index) to add it to the TOC. Update the book. You will then need to format the IndexTitleTOC tag.
