Dragging topics into the Index Designer

If you want to create a keyword based on the title of a topic, you can drag the topic into the Index Designer. After you add the topic as a keyword, you can rename it and link other topics to it.

To drag and drop a topic into the Index Designer:

  1. Click the Index tab.

  2. From the drop-down in the upper-left corner, select Index.

  3. Click the Topics tab.

  4. From the Topics List, select the topic that you want to add to your index.

  1. Drag and drop the topic into the Keyword pane in the upper-part of the Index Designer.

Note: Depending on the default keyword you set up for the project, the Index Designer displays a key icon next to index file keywords and a key/page icon next to topic keywords. For more information, see Selecting keyword types.
