Create and update an index

An index lists the terms and topics that are discussed in a document, along with the pages that they appear on. To create an index, you mark the index entries by providing the name of the main entry and the cross-reference in your document, and then you build the index.

You can create an index entry for an individual word, phrase, or symbol, for a topic that spans a range of pages, or that refers to another entry, such as «Transportation. See Bicycles.» When you select text and mark it as an index entry, Word adds a special XE (Index Entry) field that includes the marked main entry and any cross-reference information that you choose to include.

After you mark all the index entries, you choose an index design and build the finished index. Word collects the index entries, sorts them alphabetically, references their page numbers, finds and removes duplicate entries from the same page, and displays the index in the document.

Mark the entries

These steps show you how to mark words or phrases for your index, but you can also Mark index entries for text that spans a range of pages.

Select the text you’d like to use as an index entry, or just click where you want to insert the entry.

On the References tab, in the Index group, click Mark Entry.

You can edit the text in the Mark Index Entry dialog box.

You can add a second-level in the Subentry box. If you need a third level, follow the subentry text with a colon.

To create a cross-reference to another entry, click Cross-reference under Options, and then type the text for the other entry in the box.

To format the page numbers that will appear in the index, select the Bold check box or Italic check box below Page number format.

Click Mark to mark the index entry. To mark this text everywhere it shows up in the document, click Mark All.

To mark additional index entries, select the text, click in the Mark Index Entry dialog box, and then repeat steps 3 and 4.

Create the index

After you mark the entries, you’re ready to insert the index into your document.

Click where you want to add the index.

On the References tab, in the Index group, click Insert Index.

In the Index dialog box, you can choose the format for text entries, page numbers, tabs, and leader characters.

You can change the overall look of the index by choosing from the Formats dropdown menu. A preview is displayed in the window to the top left.

Edit or format an index entry and update the index

If you mark more entries after creating your index, you’ll need to update the index to see them.

If you don’t see the XE fields, click Show/Hide in the Paragraph group on the Home tab.

Find the XE field for the entry that you want to change, for example, <XE «Callisto» \t » See Moons» >.

To edit or format an index entry, change the text inside the quotation marks.

To update the index, click the index, and then press F9. Or click Update Index in the Index group on the References tab.

If you find an error in the index, locate the index entry that you want to change, make the change, and then update the index.

Delete an index entry and update the index

Select the entire index entry field, including the braces ( <>), and then press DELETE.

If you don’t see the XE fields, click Show/Hide in the Paragraph group on the Home tab.

To update the index, click the index, and then press F9. Or click Update Index in the Index group on the References tab.

Объект Lists (Word) Lists object (Word)

Коллекция объектов List , которые представляют все списки в указанном документе. A collection of List objects that represent all the lists in the specified document.

Примечания Remarks

Используйте свойство lists , чтобы вернуть коллекцию lists . Use the Lists property to return the Lists collection. В приведенном ниже примере отображается количество элементов в каждом списке в активном документе. The following example displays the number of items in each list in the active document.

Используйте lists (index), где index — это номер индекса, чтобы получить один объект List . Use Lists (Index), where Index is the index number, to return a single List object. В следующем примере применяется первый формат списка (кроме None) на вкладке Нумерованный список диалогового окна маркеры и нумерация для второго списка в активном документе. The following example applies the first list format (excluding None) on the Numbered tab in the Bullets and Numbering dialog box to the second list in the active document.

При использовании цикла for each для перечисления коллекции списков списки в документе возвращаются в обратном порядке. When you use a For Each loop to enumerate the Lists collection, the lists in a document are returned in reverse order. В приведенном ниже примере показано, как подсчитывается количество элементов для каждого списка в активном документе, начиная с конца документа вверх. The following example counts the items for each list in the active document, from the bottom of the document upward.

Чтобы добавить в документ новый список, используйте метод апплилисттемплате с объектом ListFormat для указанного диапазона. To add a new list to a document, use the ApplyListTemplate method with the ListFormat object for a specified range.

Вы можете управлять отдельными объектами списка в документе, но для более точного контроля необходимо работать с объектом ListFormat . You can manipulate the individual List objects within a document, but for more precise control you should work with the ListFormat object.

Списки с рисунками не включаются в коллекцию lists . Picture-bulleted lists are not included in the Lists collection.
