AFAICS, in the version of Writer I am using, you can only access the "Edit
Index Entry" window by placing the cursor exactly on an index mark in the text,
then selecting EDIT > Refernce > Index entry.
The first problem is that the user has to HOVER the cursor exactly over the
index entty field – this is only indicated by a brief popup, which disappears
as soon as you click on the location.
It is not immediately obvious (particularly to the inexperienced user) that you
now have to go to EDIT > REFERENCE to access the desired edit window.
Accessing the Edit index entry window could and should be made easier and
quicker.
SUGGESTION
Allow the user to view the Edit index entry window by double-clicking the index
entry field – or use some other obvious action (Ctrl + click etc.)
