Marking Subentry for index

[Guest]

Is there a quicker way to mark a subentry than to type it into the Mark Entry
dialog box? Thanks!

I'll let you decide whether it's quicker, but you can enter the field
directly into the document without using the dialog. Type the field
code like this:

XE main entry text:subentry text

Then select the whole expression and press Ctrl+F9 to make it a field.
(Note that XE fields are automatically marked as hidden, so if you
don't have the option turned on to display Hidden text, the field will
vanish.)

I was going to suggest the same alternative Jay proposed, but, IMHO, it
requires even *more* typing than going the dilaog box route. Fact is, the
only "quicker" technique is to pay someone to do it for you

To add to what you and Jay have said, however, one thing that can greatly
speed index creation if many entries much be created for the same term is to
insert one XE field (by either method), Copy it, use Find to search for the
next appearance of the term to be indexed, Paste, and repeat as needed.

<sigh> In my answer, read "must" for "much."
