Use the Smart Index Wizard to automatically create an index. It scans topics, identifies keywords, and automatically adds all of them to your index.
Before you auto-create an index, do the following:
Make sure that the content of your topics is written because the Smart Index Wizard adds keywords to the index based on what if finds in your topic text. (If you only want to add keywords based on topic titles, you don't need to author the content to auto-create an index.)
Review Tips for Smart Indexing before you auto-create the index. It can help you decide on what you want included in your index and how you want the information displayed.
From the Tools menu, select Smart Index Wizard. The Smart Index Wizard opens.
Select the search criteria.
Select where you want to look for keywords.
To capitalize the first letter of the keyword or keyword phrase, select Capitalize all new keywords. (The Smart Index Wizard does not use upper-case for existing keywords that are not capitalized.)
Click Next.
From How do you want to add keywords, select Automatically add keywords for all topics.
Select the topics to include or exclude from the search.
Click Finish. The Smart Index Wizard scans your topics and creates an index.
