Creating alphabetized <i>see also</i> cross-references using Index-Manager

Because Index-Manager produces XE fields for the creation of an index in a Microsoft Word document, its default cross-reference field creation has the same problems of placement and alphabetization as fields created by the Word indexing module. Previous solutions to this problem in a Word index require a search-and-replace routine of relevant XE fields after the indexing module creates them in the document. However, it is possible to correct these problems in Index-Manager, and this article explains the process. It involves the creation of a specialized subheading for the generation of see also cross-references. Examples of the subheading are shown and its syntax is explained.

Abstract

Because Index-Manager produces XE fields for the creation of an index in a Microsoft Word document, its default cross-reference field creation has the same problems of placement and alphabetization as fields created by the Word indexing module. Previous solutions to this problem in a Word index require a search-and-replace routine of relevant XE fields after the indexing module creates them in the document. However, it is possible to correct these problems in Index-Manager, and this article explains the process. It involves the creation of a specialized subheading for the generation of see also cross-references. Examples of the subheading are shown and its syntax is explained.
