Editing the keyword list |
|
The content of the keyword list can be edited retrospectively at any time.
To do so, choose the ribbon command References | group Index | Edit index entries 
. The program displays a dialog box with a list of all keywords. Square brackets after each keyword indicate how often the keyword has been included in the text.
To edit the keyword list, proceed as follows:
▪Retrieving a keyword entry
| You can find the position at which a specified entry in the keyword list occurs in the text with the Go to button. To do so, select the keyword from the list and click on Go to. Write places the text cursor at the position in the text where the term occurs. |
| If several occurrences of the term were included, the cursor is positioned at the first occurrence. Click on the Go to button again to jump to the second occurrence, etc. |
| Note: The Go to button is not available for keywords added with the enabled option Add all occurrences of the command Add index. |
▪Deleting a keyword entry
| The Delete button can be used to remove accidentally added keywords from the list. To do so, select the keyword from the list and click on Delete. |
| If the keyword has been included in several text passages, you can use the Go to button to determine beforehand which occurrence should be deleted (see above). |
The field {Index:'..'}
Finally, some information for advanced users:
When adding to the keyword list, Write inserts an invisible "Index" field behind the selected term. If the term is, for example, "fish", this index field contains: {Index: 'fish'}.
You can make these index fields visible by enabling the option Display field names on the View tab in the dialog box of the ribbon command File | Properties (alternatively: on the ribbon tab References | group Fields | Field names button or simply Alt+F9). This gives you an exact overview of which keywords you have added at which points in the text.
Tip: Double-click on the index field to rename the keyword retroactively.
However, no index field appears for keywords that have been added to the list using the enabled option Add all occurrences. They are handled by functions within the program.
