            Bug ID: 130003
           Summary: ALPHABETICAL INDEX: make it easier to index ranges of
                    pages
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

THE PROBLEM

Currently, in order to create a page range for an entry term in an alphabetical
index (e.g. Pitt, William 121-130), you have to highlight an entry term on EACH
page of the range. This is tolerable for ranges of a few pages, but for longer
ranges it is tedious and time-consuming; it also clutters up the text with
index marks.

THE SOLUTION

Amend the procedure so that only the first and last pages of the entry term
range needs to be indexed. The procedure might be as follows:

1. The "Insert Index Entry" dialogue should be open.
2. Highlight the entry term at the START of the desired page range. 
3. Tick "Start Range" (a new check-box in the "Insert Index Entry" dialogue).
Update entry and amend it, if required, then INSERT.
4. Highlight the entry term at the END of the desired page range.
5. Tick "End Range" (a new check-box in the "Insert Index Entry" dialogue).
Update entry and amend it, if required, then INSERT.
