How to - Indesign index - 3 different ways?

Any insight on how to tackle building an index for a 96-page document in InDesign?  I have tried to read various posts on this, but I'm still in the dark.
INFO:
My file is not set up as a "book", it's just a 96-facing pages document
I need to build 3 indexes in the document, so readers can search by "Index by Title", "Index by Location", "Index by Author"  
Is there step by step instructions anywhere on how to approach this - I'm very confused at this point and sit here with a blank index in my document. I don't even know how I should approach the layout of it yet, OR if I'm supposed to build a file in excel and then import the info? 
Blank slate at this point ~ can anyone help?
Thanks kindly in advance!

Hi Peter, thanks for that link, I actually saw that website prior to posting.  It doesn't really answer my "how to" question, other than teling me that apparently InDesign "does not support multiple indexing" ...correct?  If that's the case, then how do people accomplish this task?
You may have missed this note in the InDesignSecrets information:
"Another method is to use prefixes in your index entries. For example, put an ! (exclamation point) at the beginning of all your “author” index entries. Then, when you generate the index, those will all be gathered together in one group. You can then remove the special character at the beginning of each paragraph easily with Find/Change."
It's terse, but the idea is that you add a special character to each index entry - say an ! for author, a ~ for subject, etc. Just as all entries that begin with "a" or "b" etc. are gathered together under the initial letter in the generated index, so, too, the "!" and "~" entries are gathered under these symbols. When the document is finalized and the final index is generated, you can remove the special characters with Find/Change.
When you get the hang of creating index entries (by viewing a tutorial and doing some experiments, as Jongware suggests) this will make more sense.
And what the heck is a grep - I don't know anything about codes..?
GREP is a smarter kind of Find. You shouldn't need it for this task.
Anywho, and was hoping someone could give me a play-by-play on how to tackle this index.
Any further insgiht would be very much appreciated.
Thx!

  • How to rebuild index from different schema

    Hi All,
    I want to rebuild an Index of schema A from Schema B.
    Is there any grant needs to be give to Schema B in order to rebuild index of Schema A?
    Thanks,
    Tarak

    It is true what P. Forstmann said. However if you don't want to give the second user the ANY priviledge, then you can do a little workaround. Create a small procedure in Schema A that does the rebuild (maybe dynamically). Then grant execute rights on the procedure to Schema B.

  • XmlDataProvider .... is gone completely in my Xaml file. Why? How many different ways to deal with xml data source through WPF

    I followed a procedure described in a book.
    1. insert "Inventory.xml" file to a project "WpfXmlDataBinding" .
    2. add the XML data source through the data panel of "blend for 2013", named it "InventoryXmlDataStore" and store it in the current document.
    3. dragged and droppped the nodes from the Data panel onto the artboard.
    Then I checked my Xaml file against the one provided by the book
    Xaml file by the book:

    All looks quite the same except the <XmlDataProvider ....> part under <Window.Resources>, which is gone completely in my Xaml file.

    Never do yourself down Richard.
    Leave that to other people.
    It's quite common for smart developers to think they're not as good as they are.
    I coach a fair bit and it's a surprisingly common feeling.
    And to repeat.
    Never use anything ends .. provider.  They're for trivial demo apps.  Transform xml into objects and use them.  Write it back as xml.  Preferably, use a database.

    The sample is just a collection of techniques really.
    I have a sample which involves no real data but is intended to illustrate some aspects of how viewmodels "do stuff" and how you use datatemplates to generate UI.
    I can't remember if I recommended it previously to you:

    So index_owner is 'USER1' in one case, and 'USER2' in the other; right?
    A string that starts with 'USER1' will be distinct from a string that starts with 'USER2', no matter what the rest of the string contains.  Maybe you don't want to compare the owners, or maybe you meant to use some other column (such as table_name) instead of index_owner).
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX and CONNECT statements), and also post the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.

    I can call it those different jInternalFrame. But how can i call it those inside jInternalFrame`s displayPane?You do not need a name to "call" a Frame, you just need a reference to it:
    myFrame f = new myFrame();"f" contains the reference to your Frame and can be used as you need. If you need another Frame:
    myFrame f2 = new myFrame();"f2" now contains reference to a totally separate Frame.

  • HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library.  I could not get this to work per the instructions.

    I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203.  My iTunes library is on an external drive.  I cannot get this to work.  Any suggestions?

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

    Anil,
    Are your database settings the same in both of the rpds dev and test?
    Check wether you didn't change anything to the default. Open your RDP double click on the Database in the physical layer and go to Feature you can check all the settings there

  • Different ways to setup applets... what's best?

    Alright. I need some help deciding how to setup an applet. I'm a high school student and I'm going to be in a competition on Saturday that will be using Java applets. I've been trying to get my hands on as much info about it as I can, but I've seen so many different ways of displaying things on an applet that I'm not sure what to do anymore.
    So here's the deal. In a book I have, they set up applets like this:
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Example extends JApplet
       public void init()
          getContentPane().add(new ExamplePanel ());
          set size (300, 300)
    }And the other class:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class ExamplePanel extends JPanel
       private vars
       public ExamplePanel ()
          set up listeners and set background
       public void paintComponent (Graphics page)
          super.paintComponent (page);
          paint stuff
       event methods
    }I'm pretty sure this works fine, but while on the Java website, looking for examples, I noticed that sun sets up applets like this:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.event.*;
    public class Example extends JPanel implements listener interfaces
       protected and private vars
       public Example ()
          set up panels, labels, basically any JComponent stuff
          create listeners
          use add(...) to put stuff on applet
       event methods
       private static void createAndShowGUI()
            JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Example");
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            JComponent newContentPane = new Example();
            newContentPane.setOpaque (true);
            frame.setContentPane (newContentPane);
            frame.pack();
            frame.setVisible(true);
        public static void main()
            javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
                public void run()
                    createAndShowGUI();
    }I don't know which way is better, but we don't have much time so I need something that's easy. The problem with the second one is that I don't know how to draw shapes on the second one and I might need to do that. I tried using paintComponent in it and things just got screwy. If anyone knows of a better way, please let me know. And since that one was developed directly from Sun, I'm guessing it's more efficient, so I would like to use that one if I can just learn how to use it as easily as the first.
    Also, if anyone knows a completely different way to do this that's better, please let me know.

    The second Example class shows an important issue: swing is not thread safe, and thus all GUI operations, including creating the GUI itself, must be done in the event dispatch thread. Read more about it at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html#EDT.
    The second class Example does also not seem to be an applet, that is why main() is used instead of init(). But even in init() you are not guaranteed that the current thread is the EDT - it is choosen by the browser you are using - and you should thus use invokeLater() there as well.

    I have my account on my home computer but I have another account that I set my Ipad up with. How do I put two different accounts on to one computer?

    Refer to FAQ

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. 

  • HT201493 I have 2 iphones on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

    I have 2 iphones (mine & my wife's) on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

    I am having the same issue.
    There is no possible way Apple didn't think this the whole way thru!
    Why in the world would I want to create an new Apple ID for everyone in my family & over complicate things?!?  "Face Time" and "Messages" can tie several devices to on Apple ID driven by contact email or phone number.  I am hard pressed to believe that Find my Friends can't be set up in a similar format.
    Please help because this is frustrating me to the point of smashing an iPhone or 2!!

  • How Can i Use two Different Public IP Addresses no my DMZ with ASA Firewall.

    How To Using Two Different Public IP Address on My DMZ with ASA 5520
    Postado por jorge decimo decimo em 28/Jan/2013 5:51:28
    Hi everyone out there.
    can any one please help me regarding this situation that im looking for a solution
    My old range of public ip address are finished, i mean (the 41.x.x.0 range)
    So now i still need to have in my DMZ another two servers that will bring some new services.
    Remember that those two server, will need to be accessable both from inside and from outside users (Internet users) as well.
    So as i said, my old range of public ip address is finished and we asked the ISP to gives some additional public
    ip address to address the need of the two new servers on DMZ. and the ISP gave us the range of 197.216.1.24/29
    So my quation is, on reall time world (on the equipment) how can i Use two different public ip address on the same DMZ
    on Cisco ASA 5520 v8??
    How my configuration should look like?
    I was told about implementing static nat with Sub Interfaces on both Router and ASA interface
    Can someone please do give me a help with a practical config sample please. i can as well be reached at [email protected]
    attached is my network diagram for a better understanding
    I thank every body in advance

    Hi,
    So looking at your picture you have the original public IP address range configured on the OUTSIDE and its used for NAT for different servers behind the ASA firewall.
    Now you have gotten a new public IP address range from the ISP and want to get it into use.
    How do you want to use this IP address range? You want to configure the public IP addresses directly on the servers or NAT them at the ASA and have private IP addresses on the actual servers (like it seems to be for the current server)?
    To get the routing working naturally the only thing needed between your Router and Firewall would be to have a static route for the new public network range pointing towards your ASA OUTSIDE IP address. The routing between your Router and the ISP core could either be handled with Static Routing or Dynamic Routing.
    So you dont really need to change the interface configuration between the Router and ASA at all. You just need a Static route pointing the new public IP address towards the ASA outside IP address.
    Now when the routing is handled between the ISP - ISP/Your Router - Your Firewall, you can then consider how to use those IP addresses.
    Do you want to use the public IP addresses DIRECTLY on the HOSTS behind the firewall?This would require you to either configure a new physical interface with the new public IP address range OR create a new subinterface with the new public IP addresses range AND then configure the LAN devices correspondingly to the chosen method on the firewall
    Do you want to use the public IP addresses DIRECLTY on the ASA OUTSIDE as NAT IP addresses?This would require for you to only start configuring Static NAT for the new servers between the inside/dmz and outside interface of the ASA. The format would be no different from the previous NAT configuration other than for the different IP addresses ofcourse
    Of the above ways
    The first way is good because the actual hosts will have the public IP addresses. Therefore you wont run into problems with DNS when the LAN users are trying to access the server.
    The second way is the one requiring the least amount of configurations/changes on the ASA. In this case though you might run into problem with DNS (to which I refer above) as the server actually has a private IP address but the public DNS might reply to the LAN hosts with a public IP address and therefore connections from LAN could fail. This is because LAN users cant connect to the servers OUTSIDE NAT IP address (unless you NAT the server to public IP address towards LAN also)
    Hopefully the above was helpfull. Naturally ask more specific questions and I'll answer them. Hopefully I didnt miss something. But please ask more
    I'm currently at Cisco Live! 2013 London so in the "worst case" I might be able to answer on the weekend at earliest.
