Once entries are made in the concordance file, it may be necessary to make sure only the
desired text is indexed. Users can either look at the index results or use 'Find and
Replace' in the document and enter each search term to see what text will be indexed. If
something is being indexed that is not wanted, one will need to modify the search term to
eliminate the unwanted text.
For example,a document on nature could include information about trees and animals. An
index entry for bark would pick up tree bark and text about animals barking. To insure that
only the tree bark text is indexed, a user might have to change the entry from:
bark;;tree;;0;1
to:
tree bark;bark;tree;;0;1
and:
bark of the tree;bark;tree;;0;1
The order of entries in a concordance file does not effect the display order which is
alphabetical. However, keeping like items together makes it easier to track down any errors
or to find an entry that needs to be changed.
Turning on View > Field Shadings allows users to see which terms are indexed and might
help determine what index items have been forgotten.
