I need explanations for a novice: I know that a can select a short text sequence to define an index entry using menu insert / ToC&Index / Index Entry. The selected text becomes the entry in an alphabetical Index. The only modification that I know of is to alter the text of the entry. The implied consequence is that the visible marker in the document no longer is the selected text sequence but a (zero length character?) 1mm wide 1char high vertical shaded area bar. I know no other settings for the visible marker. Please let me know if there are other options. I want to explain what I want to achieve: Assume that synonyms are used in a document and I want to associate an explanation or translation to these words in the text. This is what a glossary normally provides. If I was allowed to complement the text string in the entry I could append "see also other-synonym-word". In my alphabetical index I might then find two entries: Brennnessel (Urtica)....... 27,27,39,110 Urtica dt. Brennnesseln.... 15,27 On page 27 i might find Brennesseln may hurt" ========== Die Gattung Urtica is named Brennesseln in German. ====== ========== Jede Brennessel kann schmerhafte Schwellungen verursachen ========== My be an alphabetical Index is not the appropriate choice to achieve that. But what is appropriate?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
