Embedded indexing service for Word
Your customers need easy access to the information you provide. A good index can help them.
The creation of an index is a skilled task. If you need a top-quality index for an existing software manual, use our indexing service. This page explains the options available for an index (technically called an embedded index) in a Microsoft Word document.
You can have these types of index:
- A single index for a single Word document. This is a popular option; most back-of-the-book indexes are like this.
- Multiple indexes for a single Word document. For example, in a technical reference document for computer software, it might be appropriate to have a general index and an index of screen names.
- A single index for a set of Word documents. One index can span the content of many Word documents.
- Multiple indexes that cover more than one Word document.
The picture above shows part of a small index that we produced for a medical software manual. For samples of embedded indexes within Word documents, see the Samples page. It is not possible to see an embedded index in isolation (Word will generate an error message). For samples of indexes alone, contact us and we will supply index samples in PDF format.
Our area of expertise is computer software documentation. To find indexing specialists in other fields, contact the Society of Indexers (www.indexers.org.uk).
