Hi Kirsty,
A few things I have discovered which may help.
1. If you know you want to create several entries with the same anchor, use the drop down arrow at the top right of the text window to select ‘adopt previous anchor’
2. If you are coming back to an anchor already used, select the word, select ‘adopt previous anchor’ as above, then cancel the entry. Enter your new wording and create the entry – it will attach to the previous anchor.
3. I have found that once you close Index-Manager (even without exporting) and then re-open, you can select an anchor again and it does not open the old entry for updating.
Hope that makes some sense!
