I’ve been writing books in Pages for years. And my work around to create an index has been to export the document to Word, and create the index there.
I was hoping that the new version of Pages would have the indexing feature, but no luck.
Would anyone have a different/better idea of creating an index, besides the export to Word work around?
Just thought I’d ask…
Thanks…Mike
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a way to do it automatically.
It has to be done manually. One approach would be do use the search functionality:
A second approach would be to use Automator for a little more “automated “ approach:
But to be honest, I think that your approach to export the file to Word in order to create the index might be the best solution.
Ah…thanks Christian. I just contacted support and they echoed the same opinion.
FYI TidBits just posted an article about making ToCs in Pages. Worth a look…
Actually, if you take “Select” the Table of Contents, you can copy the text into a table, sort it as you wish, merge the cells and then copy and paste… works like a charm (although you will have to manually format it when copied to the end of your document.
