Hello,
I have some subjects where a number of different terms are used for the same thing, and wondered if there could be a way to indicate this in the index, ideally with a link.
For example, 'foot' is a preferred term, and 'hoof' an alternative.
The entry for 'hoof' would be something like:
hoof (see foot)
with the link going to the 'foot' entry in the index.
Thanks
Peter

Re: Keyword preferred terms
Hi Peter,
You can't have two different links in the same line of a keyword reference. The easiest and standard way to achieve this is to make foot a child keyword of hoof, by placing it on the next line with a single tab character before it:
And it's generally a good idea to do it the other way round as well.
Entering the main keyword twice is necessary if you want it to be both a keyword in its own right as well as just a heading for other keywords. Using both the "see" version and the version without as sub-keywords makes the sub-keyword easier to find.
