We edit a sample index. In this section, we learn the basic principles of indexing and how these principles are applied. I never understood how to edit an index. Now I do. Writing the index We try our hand at writing an index using file cards .
Participants are able to sort their cards as they write and the index appears before their eyes.
Embedding index markers Using a sample technical document, possibly one that you choose, we learn how to code index markers in FrameMaker. Finally, we learn how to edit the index markers to produce the final index. Here's a good opportunity to examine any particular indexing problems you are dealing with. Participants learn how to problem solve and apply the indexing principles in different situations. Whatever your situation, you will learn how to use basic indexing principles to meet the needs of your customers.
