Download or read book Software for Indexing written by Sandi Schroeder and published by Information Today, Inc.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thorough inventory of software products used in indexing, professional indexers share their favorite features, tips, and techniques. As one would expect, the major dedicated indexing programs (Authex, CINDEX, MACREX, SKY Index, and wINDEX) are compared, but today's indexers are asked to do more than produce print indexes. They need tools to make indexes Web-compatible: HTML/Prep, HTML Indexer, and RoboHelp are covered. They have to embed indexing entries into originating documents: Framemaker, Microsoft Word, PageMaker, and Ixgen are covered. Voice recognition software is described, and a review of Sonar Bookends provides value for those contemplating automatic indexing. Here is an essential guide for indexers and technical writers desiring to maximize the efficiency of their day-to-day indexing and meet special project needs.
