Hi Riki,
many thanks for your response. I have a few questions about your suggestions that I would like to quote:
I have sometimes had trouble with the index not displaying the first time I export a file. If I change something trivial (add a space at the end of a paragraph, say) and re-export, then it appears.
I have already made many, many changes to my 250-page book, which is far from finished. There will probably have been spaces at the end of some paragraphs. Unfortunately that had no effect.
One way to try to debug this would be to export the file to LaTeX and run everything manually.
Unfortunately I don't understand this: How do I export the file to LaTeX and how do I do everything manually?
Or just launch LyX from a terminal, and watch the output when you export.
How do I start LyX from a terminal? And how do I observe the output when exporting?
Andreas

Dear Herbert,I think you are responding to an email from me that is already out of date.Meanwhile I sent another file WME_Index.lyx, which uses the text processor texindy. Jürgen recommended it to me. Unfortunately that didn't work either.I can't find the xindex processor you mentioned in my selection list. Instead I find xindy. Did you perhaps mean that? It doesn't work with xindy either.Even if, as you suggested, I use makeindex as the processor and enter the option "-s german.ist" (Jürgen commented that he cannot find german.ist on his computer), the index is not displayed.
