How to generate an index in Microsoft outlook 2004 for Mac?

[Forrest Ranger]

Whenever i need to make an index I go to “insert” then ”index” and tables. I have marked my book with the xe fields. There is nothing that shows the option for generating the index! Can you please help me by advising how do I create an index in Mac!

Go to the tables and index, select the first tab. Here you can set the kind of index you want for your book. You can either select the indented or run-in index for your purpose. You can also select the number of columns you want and other options. Click “ok ” to generate the index. What happens when you go: insert then field and index? Do you get any error messages? I am able to add the index even with blank document, it should show you ok button!

I have endnotes at the end of the documents. When i follow your way to make an index it shows the error “index is not allowed in endnote, footnote, header and footer”. From other way that I found from internet , says choose “insert” option , from there select break and then put “end of section” . however when I try to do that it shows that option with grey color. Which means it is disabled. How can I enable it again.

Place your cursor above the endnotes in text and then place section break. Select the endnote from text flow, insert the footnote and replace it with “end of section”. Endnotes and footnotes both can be replaced with each other. Endnotes can be placed at the end of the current section or document. I am assuming that you have appendix with its own header and footer you have 2 choices:

1. Place text first then give “section break”
2. Then come the appendix, Bibliography, index and endnotes respectively.

Or

1. Put the text first then endnotes.
2. Give the section break and will come appendix, , Bibliography and then index.
