Deleting the ‘See also’ feature in an index

Question

I am having an indexing problem. In the past I used the ‘See also’ feature but now for some entries I need to delete this but every time I do so InDesign crashes. I am forced to trawl thru the index each time I refresh it to manually delete the unwanted entries on the page. I have attached an example of the problem as it exists now. Originally these entries related to another name (BEASLEY) which I have completely removed fromm my document. I have removed the other entry the ‘See all’ was linking with. I have tried every strategy I can think of but the outcome of all is a crash and when I recover the material the problem remains.

Hi @Graham5ECC:

This isn't quick—and I don't know a way to delete them all at once—but you can open the Index panel, twirl open the reference (i.e., Besly) and drag the see also to the trash. Update the index.
