the menu shown in Figure 340.
Alphabetic indexes
An alphabetical index (referred to as an index) is a list of keywords or phrases used

• Add index entries.
• Create an alphabetic index quickly.
• Customize the display of index entries.
• Customize the appearance of the index.
• View and edit existing index entries.

entry it will generally be better to highlight the entire phrase.)
2) Choose Insert > Indexes and Tables > Entry to display a dialog box similar
