There is an option to have a header (alpha letter) appear before each set of index entries. In the Generate Index dialog, click “More Options.” Then tick the box to “Include Index Section Headings.” A style will be created automatically (“Index Section Head”), which you can modify to match your design.
That’s correct, Susan, but my post was about adding section headings in an existing index.
