How Do I update an Index?

I have created an index, but realise that I need to add more words. I do not know how to include these new words in my Index.

Can you help?

RE: How Do I update an Index?

No you do not need to set up the Index again, there is a much quicker way of updating.

Once you have selected and marked new words in your document for your index. You just need to right click on the existing Index and select Update Field.

Your Index will now be updated.

This action can be done as many times as you wish.

Index is covered on our Word Advanced course. Please check the syllabus on this website.

Word tip:

Multiple Cut and Pastes in MS Word

If you need to cut and paste more than one selection into a document, you don't need to Cut & Paste repeatedly, just use the built in SPIKE feature.

To use; you can Cut two or more items from nonadjacent locations. This adds those items to the Spike's contents. Then paste the items as a group in a new location or document. The items remain in the Spike so you can insert them repeatedly. If you want to add a different set of items to the Spike, you must first empty the Spike's contents.

Here's how to do it:
Step 1: To move an item to the Spike, select the text or graphic you want, and then press CTRL+F3. You can repeat this step for each additional item you want to move to the Spike.

Step 2: Place your cursor where you want to insert the Spike's contents.

Step 3: select keystroke CTRL+SHIFT+F3 to insert and empty the Spike's contents
