Some Pointers for IXgen

[Art Campbell]

You're describing the "markers from keywords" method. Basically, you
define the text term and the corresponding marker text in a table and
turn the program loose. Instant index.

With that as your method to generate markers, you need to build your
tables. For this, you may want to look at "markers from heads" to get
the table started and then edit it as you wish. If you have manually
entered markers already, you can also collect and incorporate those
into your table...

Cheers,
Art
