Hi,
Thanks for all the good replies.
I'd rather not add the index separately in the main book, as I sometimes
publish the document in a "stand-alone" version, and I like to try to keep my
books as free from generated files as possible.
Steve Rickaby's answer did it for me - his comment:
As a member of the American Society of Indexers (ASI),
I have to put in a plug for the word "indexes."
This is the preferred spelling in most dictionaries
for the lists of terms with locators that are found,
ususally, in the backs of books. ASI also promotes the
use of "indexes" as the plural of

I usually use FM on the Mac (Classic in Tiger). I have no probl?me with
