Step 3: In the "Mark Index Entry" window, click "Mark" for the selected word, or "Mark All" for all the words the same as the selected word;
Step 4: The marked words will appear with "XE";
Step 5: Select another keyword or phrase, click the "Main entry" box in the "Mark Index Entry" window, the word in the box will automatically change to the selected word. Click "Mark" to mark the second entry. Repeat to mark all the keywords.
Part 2: Insert index is to add the listing of keywords and the page numbers they appear on.
Step 6: Click the place where you want to add the index list;
Step 7: Click the "References" tab from the ribbon (if you are in a different tab);
Step 8: Click "Insert Index" from the "Index" section;
