Hello Philip, Thank you again for this explanation and instruction. It seems to work well. I will do as you taught me.

But notice also that for the cross-reference it doesn’t matter which page the term is indexed on, since the cross-reference won’t actually be using the page information at all. But here is where things get even crazier, if the cross-reference uses “Index As” it won’t care _what_ you are indexing either! Imagine I select “Nisus Writer” and then index it as “Microsoft Office” with cross-reference “See: Software”, then the index will show: > > Microsoft Office.

Index some bit of text of your choice (maybe “foi” if you like) and give it the "Index As" topic “foi” and the cross-reference “See: truth/sincerity". This should be done in whichever index you want the cross-reference to appear (perhaps in both). If this is in the vocabulary index, you may want to make the cross-reference “See: [Notions] truth/sincerity”, or something like that. > > best > Philip
