    Inside the Index Marker, the Marker Text can do some funky things like multiple entries (separate them by a semi-colon), or sub-entries (enter them in this format - Index_main_entry:sub-entry - just make sure that the "Index_main_entry" text is identical in each place where you use it; otherwise you get variations on the term appearing in your IX). Check out the FM help files for other cool features like "See xxx" or page ranges.

    Use a colon to separate levels. For example, where Bitmap image is a Level1IX and the rest are Level2IX:

    The markers would show:

    Bitmap image:defined

    Bitmap image:resolution of

    Bitmap image:tonal range in

    Remember that you have to have an exact match of the letters, including the case and spacing for this to work.

    Dear BarbBinder,

    I make it using your method. I follow the help before asking the question but failed. Now I found that 's because when I entering the main entry names I didn't keep them the same.

    Thank you.

    Thank you, Jeff.

    done!

    I failed to do that because I didn't keep the main entry identical.
