    I've created a new book (call it Book A). When I open the index window, an index from another book (by a different name, call it Book B) appears. If I delete the index entries one at a time, then I have a blank index window. Fine, but when I open another document in Book A and open the index window, the same thing happens. Am I going to have to delete index entries document by document? Or is there a way with all of Book A to have a blank slate?

    Indexes are saved in each document — they actually have nothing to do with books. This is a central weakness in how ID handles indexes, in my opinion.

    Here's a post on how to delete index entries: https://creativepro.com/how…..ntries.php

    But that won't necessarily remove everything (like x-refs, as other forum posters have pointed out)

    WTF?! You mean every time I start a new book and index it I'm going to have to do this all over again? Egad!
