I was first looking under "index" and not finding the answer. My American mind didn't think to look under "Register." That's not what we call a back of book index. So thanks for the pointer. But it would be useful also to correct the manual. Neither section 12.7 nor the list of commands in the back mention \completeregister nor \placeregister as the means to create a back of the book index. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
