Create an index concordance file

Index concordance file is a fancy name for a text file that Living Cookbook uses to automatically index your publications. The file contains a list of all of the words that you want indexed in your publication.

Note  If you choose not to associate an index concordance file with a publication, Living Cookbook will simply index the names of the recipes.

  1. Open a text editing program (such as NotePad).
  2. Type a word you want to mark as an index entry. Make sure to enter the text exactly as it appears in the document.
  3. Press TAB.
  4. Type the index entry for the text (as it will appear in the index).
  5. Press Enter to start a new line.
  6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each index reference and entry.

    7. Tip  If the reference text and entry text are identical, you can omit steps 3 and 4.

    Your index concordance file should look something like this:

    Note  Notice how, in the example above, both "almonds" and "almond" will get indexed as "almond".

  7. On the File menu, click Save As to save your file. It is recommended that you save the file in the Templates directory in the Living Cookbook program directory (normally C:\Program Files\Radium Technologies\Living Cookbook\Templates). This will ensure that your index files get backed up with your other Living Cookbook files.
