Does RH only index to topics?

I have RH 8 and Windows 7. I am also new to indexing.

I ran the index wizard and it produced an index. However, all the entries just take you to the top of the topic, and not to the actual place in the topic where the index item is located. Can I index to items in topics? If so, how?

Is there any kind of help or information about indexing?

Thanks for the help.

Pat

    This has been covered many times. I just popped "index" into "Search RoboHelp Forums" and got 216 hits. One of the first was this thread.

    Keywords are not necessarily in the text of a topic as you can use any  word as a keyword. For instance you might have a topic all about  clothing and assign cotton as a keyword even though it is not in the  topic. You are just wanting to point the user to a topic that might be  relevant. That is why the link just opens the topic.
