Index entries, multiple

[Guest]

Is there a way to simultaneously specify more than one index entry in the marker diologue box?

  E.g.,:

Setting XYZ

XYZ:setting

That pattern shows up all the time and more complex permutations as well. I would expect this to generate multiple different index markers in the same place.

Cheers,

yes, use a semi-colon between entries and you can stack up a bunch of them in one marker

Thanks a million, Jeff. This saves me no end of mouse clicks!

You can also do multi-level index entries with colons – e.g. Mammals:Canada:Beaver

Just watch out if you try to do them in a book-of-books format – it’ll crash FM when you try and update the index.

I also put a space after each colon and semicolon. This has no effect on creating the index; however, the spell checker does not see the entries as misspelled words.
