Click now on the small textbox after the last entry of the line structure, “#”.Below select “Page number” from the Character style. The label of “ E#” is now changed to “LS” which stands for “Link Start”. T: Tab stop (this gives the line of spots we see)īetween one an another of this buttons there is a small textbox which can be used both to write something or to add new pieces to the line entry layout.This structure specifies, for each level, how one entry of the index should look like. The part really interesting for us is the Structure section. Give your index a name and move to the tab named Entries that’s the one which matters for our scope, which is to create a linked index. That’s the window which lets you control your index. Select where on your document you want to set your index (usually at the beginning) and go on Insert -> Indexes and Tables -> Indexes and TablesĪ small window will open. Once you have created your documents structure is time to create the index. After this you can use Heading 2-3-4 to create your gerarchy. Heading 1 is to be used for the most important titles (es: chapter titles). As you can see you don’t just have one heading, but at least three. On this toolbar you find the Heading style I am talking about.

You can find this options in the toolbar Formatting (View->Toolbars->Formatting). To easily created an index the quickest way is to format your index entries through the most intuitive instrument: Headers. But if this documents are stored electronically (tipically in PDF format) it’s nice to have a clickable index, which immediatly redirects you to the part of the document you are intrested in. All of us know the importante of indexes in written documents. Today I am going to explian how it’s possibile to create a linked index of a document.
