+Convenience Functions for Index Handling
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard

+\change_inserted -712698321 1667669552
+Indexing a document can be a tedious task, since you often have to insert
+ the same index entry multiple times in order to refer to passages at different
+ pages.
+ This is not only time-consuming, but also error-prone; e.
+\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
+\end_inset
+
+g., you have to remember how exactly an inset entry has been inserted to
+ avoid redundant entries.
+ \SpecialChar LyX
+ provides some functions to ease the task.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+
+\change_inserted -712698321 1667669398
+First, if you want to add an entry which you already used before, you can
+ open the outliner via
+\family sans
+View\SpecialChar menuseparator
+Outline Pane
+\family default
+ (see section
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+
+\begin_inset CommandInset ref
+LatexCommand ref
+reference "subsec:The-Outliner"
+
+\end_inset
+
+), select the
+\family sans
+Index Entries
+\family default
+ section (it is convenient to have this open while indexing anyway), scroll
+ to the entry in question (if you check
+\family sans
+Sort
+\family default
+, it will be more easier), then
+\emph on
+right
+\emph default
+-click on the entry and select
+\family sans
+Insert Copy at Cursor Position
+\family default
+ from the context menu.
+ This will do just what it says: it will insert a copy of that index inset
+ at the position where the cursor is.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+
+\change_inserted -712698321 1667669772
+Second, \SpecialChar LyX
+ also provides a semi-automated solution to index a word.
+ If you right-click on an index entry inset, you can select from the context
+ menu
+\family sans
+Index All Occurrences of this Word
+\family default
+.
+ This will search the whole document (only single documents, not master
+ and child documents) and insert a copy of this index inset after each occurrenc
+e of the word that precedes the inset.
+ Note that casing of the word does not matter, but only full words in the
+ same grammatical form are considered (so if
+\emph on
+table
+\emph default
+ is the word before the index entry,
+\emph on
+Table
+\emph default
+ will be considered as well, but not
+\emph on
+tables
+\emph default
+).
+ Please take care to not overuse this function and to carefully check the
+ result afterwards.
+ Remember, a good index does not simply list all occurrences of a given
+ word in a specific document (that is a concordance rather), but only relevant
+ occurrences! So as convenient as this function might seem, it is suitable
+ especially for particular cases.
+ With others, you will have more work with removing again falsely inserted
+ entries than you would have with manually inserting them at the right place.
