Reply To: Auto Indexing

Hey Austin,
I did a quick InDesignSecrets article search and ran across an article that David Blatner wrote that might be of interest to you regarding indexing plugins, it’s from 2014 but all the scripts/plugins should still be fairly relevant today.

I’m sure there could be a work around with building a TOC with the names paragraph style, GREPing in a tab before the last name, converting to a table, swapping the First/Last Name Columns, and then converting back to text, but it might become a bit cumbersome to do each time a new name is added, and that doesn’t take into account that you’re wanting to do it across multiple files.
