Insert an index marker without typing

Know how to create index markers fast and easy in Adobe FrameMaker.

To reduce or eliminate typing when creating index markers, do one of the following:

• Insert an empty marker or marker element (with no text in it) at the beginning of the word. When you generate the index, the text to the right of the marker, up to the first following space, becomes the text of an entry.

• To use text that appears in the document as the marker text, simply select the text in the document. As long as the selected word or phrase doesn’t contain a marker, it automatically appears in the Marker Text box.
