5 easy steps to your index
Import — Indexing — Editing — Verifying — Export
Import
In Index-Manager you can work on more than a hundred files at once by using the consolidated index preview.
Index-Manager supports the following file formats
- Microsoft Word (.docx, .docm),
- Adobe InDesign (.idml) and
- XML after adapting it to your DTD.
The program automatically saves a list of imported files as project.
Indexing
Create new index entries. Choose words or phrases by double-clicking or enter them manually.
Customized short cut keys can ensure you work quickly.
Innovative word list functions allow for systematic indexing and support the choice of terms: powerful filter options enable display according to paragraph and character formats, XML tags, or your own word lists.
One click is all you need to generate hundreds of potential index entries in a uniform way at all occurrences in every loaded file. Streamline production of name indexes with one click!
Index-Manager has been in use since 2012. We are delighted by the exceptionally positive response from our customers.
“This is all in all a very promising piece of software, with a multitude of possibilities for compiling embedded indexes. As the developer is perfectly willing to make changes to the software, it could become almost perfect.”
“It´s a pity noone came up with this idea earlier. ”
“I can no longer imagine my work without Index-Manager.”
Editing
Standardize spelling and remove typing errors quickly and easily, even in index entries already in the original manuscript.
Use all functions for groups of entries – adapt entries, divide into main and subheading, and swap index levels
Search and replace – even regular expressions.
Verifying
Preview the index in a multi-column view any time – no time-consuming setup necessary.
The cross reference editor displays and manages synonyms comfortably as “source” and “target” entries. The software will warn you if an entry doesn’t match. To determine freely reference types for your cross references just type directly in the cross refence box.
Make a correction once in the index preview and that correction will carried out throughout all the corresponding entries in the loaded files.
Easily export the Index as a text file at any time, e.g. for proofreading.
Export
All indexing work is logged in a separate file until export.
When you’re ready, one click inserts index entries into the document files to be read and used by the source program and which you can then use for
all future products and editions, print or digital.
Index-Manager ensures problem-free transfer of index entries between different file formats (InDesign, Word, XML). You are in control – no need for any exhausting post-editing!
This separate logging allows other tasks – like copyediting and proofreading – to be accomplished in parallel. Working parallel on the data enables you to publish earlier and always be one step ahead.
