                <div><p>You create,
edit, and preview the index using the Index panel (Window&#160;&gt;
Type &amp; Tables&#160;&gt; Index). The panel includes two modes:
Reference and Topic. In Reference mode, the preview area displays
complete index entries for the current document or book. In Topic
mode, the preview area displays only topics, not page numbers or
cross-references. Topic mode is used primarily for creating the index
structure, whereas Reference mode is where you add your index entries.</p>
<p>In Reference mode,
index entries are alphabetized and divided into sections by letter.
Triangles next to entries let you expand or collapse the entry to
view subentries, page numbers, and cross-references.</p>
<p>The following codes appear in place of page references to indicate
index entries that may not be included in the generated index. You
may need to choose Update Preview in the Index panel to view the
codes.</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">PB </dt>
<dd>Indicates index entries on the pasteboard. These entries
will not appear in the generated index.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">HL</dt>
<dd>Indicates index entries on a hidden layer. When you generate
the index, you have the option of including index entries on a hidden
layer.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">HT</dt>
<dd>Indicates index entries in a hidden condition. Index entries
in hidden conditions are not included in the index.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">PN</dt>
<dd>Indicates index entries in overset text. When you include
these entries in the generated index, they appear without page numbers.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Master</dt>
<dd>Indicates index entries on a master page. These entries will
not appear in the generated index.<p>Click a triangle to expand or collapse
an individual entry. Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac&#160;OS),
and click a triangle to expand or collapse all subentries for that
entry.</p>
<div class="tip"><img src="images/tip_help.png" />Choose
Update Preview in the Index panel menu to update the preview area.
This option is especially useful if you’ve edited your document
extensively or moved index markers in the document window.</div></dd><p class="dlseparator"></p></dl>
