At the Index dialog box, you can customize the format of the index, specifying how the entries and subentries
will appear.
The Print Preview section shows how the index will display in the document.
In the Type section, the Indented option is the default, which means subentries appear indented below main
entries.
By default, Word inserts an index in two columns. You can increase or decrease the number of columns with
the Columns option.
If your document contains text in a language other than English, you can create an index using the other
language’s alphabet.

Mark Index Entry Options
The Options section of the Mark Index Entry dialog box provides additional options for marking text for an
index.
If you want to use more than a few words as a single index entry, consider identifying the text as a bookmark
and then marking the bookmark as an index entry.
This option is especially useful when the text for an entry spans a range of pages.

Create a Concordance File
Save words that appear frequently in a document as a concordance file. Doing this will spare you from
having to mark all of these words as entries or subentries in a document.
A concordance file is a Word document that contains a two-column table and no text outside the table.
In the first column of the table, you enter the words that you want to appear in the index. In the second
column, you enter the main entry and subentry (if there is one) that should appear for each word in the first
column.
