Indexing by Last name

Select Name


Two way to mark an entry for an index 
either 
or I prefer
Alt,shift X
 either will bring up:
I cut and paste (Cntl x. cntl v) the first name into the sub entry:

Hit Mark

Resist the temptation to "Mark All" Doing so will mark all people named Doe with John.

 If you have a name such as "County State Bank" no need to make sub entry so Mark All is Fine.
 I usually create a separate word document in Paragraph View and paste index entries into it  then just copy from that. 

But most of the time on names its just as easy to mark the name, cntl x (cut) the first name and cntl v (paste) it into sub entry. 

There are other ways using "Quick Parts" Later

To Insert Index 

Under the reference tab , Index section select create index.

I prefer Classic Format but  you can play with other styles and see  how they look in the Print   Preview Viewer.



Select OK
Classic  will look like this:


Indexes Have to be updated as changes are made.
Right click somewhere on Index and select update.
