    Tom ,

    Today i was checking the Chicago Manual Of Style, and i have noticed their index: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/16/indexA.html
    You can see they are setting the chapter number + dot + the page number for each indexed word.

    ex: indexing as responsibility of, 2.2, 2.67, 16.3–4, 16.104, 16.108

    You can do the same thing for your volumes index, but don’t use “I-256” as in your examples. Instead use a dot as a separator “I.256” as “-” should be used in a range of pages, like: I.256-I.263.

    I thought i should share this with you.

    Hmmm .. I have seen a lot of book that were too long so the author normally divides it into 2 or more volumes, each volume starts at page “1”. If you insist on doing this i might suggest you take a look at the program “PDF Index Generator”. This program helps in creating your book index, but the most useful feature in your case is that it is very elastic in defining the book pages numbers, whether they are Arabic, Latin, … pages numbers or any other format you want to use. You can watch the beginning of their video tutorial to see how this works :

    I wish that gives you a good start.

    I do not think this (Tree, pine I-37, I-256, II-97, II-234) is a good thing to do ! .. It will mislead your book readers. I think it is better to put each index individually in each book and no need to combine the 2 indexes together since the 2 book volumes are in separate books.

    I think you can try “PDF Index Generator”. That should create a Back-Of-Book Index with links related to their corresponding pages in the ebook. You can check it here: https://www.pdfindexgenerator.com
