Creating an Index Entry for a Range of Pages

If you have ever created an index before, you know that it is possible for an index reference to refer to a range of pages. Word makes this type of index entry easy through the use of bookmarks. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Select the text you want to use as the range of pages in the index. This text may span several pages.
2. Assign a bookmark to this text selection.
3. Press Alt+Shift+X to display the Mark Index Entry dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
4. In the Main Entry text box, enter the index entry as you want it to appear in the index.
5. Select the Page Range radio button.
6. Use the drop-down Bookmark list to select the name of the bookmark you defined in step 2.
7. Click on Mark.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7, as desired.
9. Click on Close to dismiss the Mark Index Entry dialog box.
