RH 6 Index Question

You know how you enter the glossary items from a separate tab and can generate a printed glossary. I was thinking that the Index worked similarly.

I created a new layout as you recommended and add a chapter that had index entries. And lo and behold it worked. My bad as a newbie. Sorry.

Here are the steps that I’ve taken to generate printed documentation for the index.

From the Printed Documentation screen, these options were selected:
• Output format – Generate Word Doc
• Enter name – Index
• Specify path – C:\Documents and Settings\vjordan\Desktop\AIM+\!SSL!\Printed Documentation\Index
Generate individual documents - selected
Create master document – selected
• Images – Embed in documents selected
• Conditional Build Expression – Not Future Release, Not In Review, and Not Online (conditional tags excluded from output)
Included tags – HTML links, Index, Print
• Start each topic on a new page - selected
• Advanced options
o Include expanding text – selected
o Start new chapters on odd pages – selected
o Include drop-down text - selected
o Include glossary text – selected

From the second Printed Documentation screen, these options were selected:
• Two topics selected for chapter layout

From the third Printed Documentation screen, these options were selected:
• Section layout – selected Default Title Page, TOC, Chapter Layout, Glossary, and Index

From the fourth Printed Documentation screen, the default (None – Use the Project’s CSS styles) option was selected.

Hope this may be useful to determine what’s going on.

Thanks for your time and help.
