Publisher Indexer

What's Missing From Microsoft Publisher?

Publisher Indexer is an add-on that enables a Microsoft Publisher user to create:

• running headings and footings
• a table of contents and
• an index

Publication Indexer accomplishes this by adding master pages to your document for each of these elements.

Once these master pages have been added, you add template paragraphs that identify what you want in each element. You need not use all of the master pages. For example if you do not want to have Publisher Indexer create your Table of Contents, you can leave it blank and refrain from clicking the table of contents toolbar button.

Running Headings and Footings

Running Heading and Footings are document headers and footers that are derived from document content. A catalog, for example may have running headings and/or footings to reflect the category under which the items on a page fall.

 Publisher Indexer remembers the heading and footing content from page to page. So if a given page hasn’t a Heading1 paragraph style, the previous page’s Heading1 information is repeated.

Table of Contents Creation

Publisher Indexer inserts a Table of Contents just before the existing document’s content. It also creates a section break, so if you want to restart the page numbering at after the last Table of Contents page you can set your own starting page number.

 The table of contents uses document styles to create each TOC entry (similar to MS Word). The TOC function has multiple levels and the user can control the format of the TOC.

Index Creation

Publisher Indexer inserts an alphabetical index just after the existing document’s content. It also creates a section break, so you can restart the page numbering at the beginning of the Index.

 The indexer creates index entries from document paragraph styles and/or from phrases entered as constants. The user can control the format of the index.
