Selection

Edits the selected index entry.

Index

Displays the type of index that the selected entry belongs to. You cannot change the index type of an index entry in this dialog. Instead, you must delete the index entry from the document, and then insert it again in a different index type.

Entry

Edit the index entry if necessary. When you modify the index entry, the new text only appears in the index, and not at the index entry anchor in the document. For example, you can enter an index with comments such as "Basics, see also General".

1st key

To create a multilevel index, type the name of the first level index entry, or select a name from the list. The current index entry is added below this name.

2nd key

Type the name of the second level index entry, or select a name from the list. The current index entry is added below this name.

Level

Changes the outline level of a table of contents entry.

Phonetic reading

Enter the phonetic reading for the corresponding entry. For example, if a Japanese Kanji word has more than one pronunciation, enter the correct pronunciation as a Katakana word. The Kanji word is then sorted according to the phonetic reading entry. This option is only available if Asian language support is enabled.

Delete

Deletes the selected entry from the index. The entry text in the document is not deleted.
