Reply To: Making an index in InDesign – some questions, need help!

Any time I’ve had to index a book – 32 publications, ranging from 100pages to 3,200 pages, we’ve hired a professional indexer who works with our supplied PDFs to index the publications.

Indexing a book is a 2 person job, needs the editor and the indexed on hand to make the decisions.

I know software can make it easier. But it’s tough job to get the index right.

And you’re actually talking with a publisher, David Blatner, who didn’t win the award himself, but for one of his publications, https://creativepro.com/real-world-indesign-cs4-wins-best-index-award.php

I’d take heed in what David is saying here.
