Although we must redesign the UI, is the solution used by Microsoft Word: - Facilitates migration to Writer. - Simplifies the solution for Issue 24250 bye - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The correct term is Page ranges. Page ranges give the reader a sense of how much material is discussed in a particular reference. Some indexers only enter page ranges when they are three pages in length or longer. Three schemes are typically used for coding index ranges: 1) Concatenation. The indexer enters an index marker on each page that discusses a specific topic and the software automatically calculates the range (Scheme used by OOo Writer). 2) Index markers at the beginning and end of a range. Only two index markers are required, a “start” marker at the beginning of the range and an “end” marker at the end of the range. 3) Bookmarks. Create a bookmark for the range and then link the index marker to the bookmark (Scheme used by Ms Word). When many pages are covered in a range, the concatenation method is very slow because index markers have to be entered on every page. And then if you need to edit the index heading, finding and changing each of the index markers in the range can become exceedingly tedious. Bookmarks work well, but require an extra step to setup the bookmark. Some software packages offer concatenation along with options 2 and 3. The simplest solution might be the number 2 INSERT INDEX ENTRY: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/2/20/WG12-13.png Start marker: CTRL + Command button [Insert] Text boxes keep inserted text. End markers: ALT + Command button [Insert] EDIT INDEX ENTRY: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/3/34/WG12-17.png Command button [Delete] remove index entry CTRL + Command button [Delete] remove Start marker CTRL + Command button [OK] insert new Start marker ALT + Command button [Delete] remove End marker ALT + Command button [OK] insert new End marker Perhaps should be a particular field of shading to range page, so you can locate range page more easily.

Example: Provided the word apple appears at p1 in the introduction of the document. The main chapter about apples starts at page 4 and ends at page 10. But the word apple itself only appears on pages 4,5,7,9 and 10. Curently, the index will display: Apple.1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 It should be possible to add for some entries a stop and end mark to mark a main range: Apple.1, 4-10 Reassigned - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
